The Washington Nationals re-signed Stephen Strasburg Monday on a record-breaking seven-year, $245 million deal, and MASNsports.com's Mark Zuckerman reported Tuesday that the All-Star starting pitcher has now turned his attention toward free-agent third baseman Anthony Rendon returning to Washington as well.
From Zuckerman: "The World Series MVP and new recipient of the largest contract ever given to a pitcher has been actively trying to convince Rendon to return to Washington while also encouraging the Nationals front office to do everything possible to bring the star third baseman back, according to a source who has been in touch with Strasburg.
