ANALYSIS/OPINION:
As his meeting with reporters was about to end following a Washington Nationals training workout, third baseman Anthony Rendon answered another question about his pending free agency at the end of the season:
“Everyone has the misconception that we work for (agent) Scott (Boras),” Rendon said. “That’s not the way it works. You can ask him. We’ve gotten into some jibber-jabbers before.”
And with that, Rendon crushed the Sports Illustrated cover boy and the Nationals’ free agent spectacle from last spring, Bryce Harper. Harper, also a Boras client, walked into a press conference a year ago here and declared to the media if they asked one question about his contract or his future free agency, he would walk out.
