Anthony Rendon is not a popular figure in baseball circles these days. His seven-year $245 million dollar contract ranks as one of the worst in MLB history. Rendon’s flippant comments, such as saying baseball isn’t a top priority hasn’t done his reputation any favors. However, I still love Anthony Rendon, and all Nationals fans should too. He is a franchise legend. With Rendon likely to never play again, I wanted to look back at his career.
After a brutal stat went around which said that Ted Williams played more from 1942-1946 than Rendon has from 2020-2024 despite Williams missing all of 1943-1945 serving in World War II, I knew I had to write about Rendon.
