Wire Taps: Anthony Rendon extension murmurs; Bryce Harper offers in hand?; Will Trea Turner try for 70 steals?

Believe it or not, Spring Training games start this Saturday. Nationals baseball will air on MASN (where the graphics will, for the tenth straight season, remain identical). Max Scherzer will throw baseballs, and Kurt Suzuki or Yan Gomes will catch them as someone not wearing a curly W attempts to hit them. All will be right in the world for a few moments.

Here’s the news from Nats Park:

Nationals want Trea Turner to attempt more steals in 2019. A lot more. (WaPo)
Trea Turner puts a lot of thought into attempting a steal — but Davey Martinez wants him to put in less thought, and just run 75 or 80 times.
