Washington Nationals star third baseman Anthony Rendon and general manager Mike Rizzo reportedly met on Tuesday, according to Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com, who speculated that Rendon had resumed contract negotiations with the team.
He wrote:
"The end result of the meeting isn't clear yet, but the fact it happened underscores the continued desire of both sides to continue talks in the hopes of consummating a deal that would keep Rendon in Washington long-term and prevent him from becoming a free agent at season's end.
"Rendon and the Nationals have talked on and off for more than a year, with the most recent meeting believed to have taken place in spring training.
