According to Todd Dybas, contract talks between the Washington Nationals and Anthony Rendon have halted.
Although Rendon has said he doesn’t mind talking about an extension during the season, one would figure that the club’s best shot at an extension is before the season.
We don’t know what each side is asking for, but there are a couple of assumptions that we can make.
From the Nationals perspective, they are probably trying to include deferrals, which has become almost standard practice in contract negotiations. The Nationals even deferred $4 million of Anibal Sanchez’s $19 million contract.
