The biggest news in Washington today: Bryce Harper didn’t make it into the headline of Wire Taps for the first time in nearly forever. (That’s what everyone in this town is thinking about, right?)

Nolan Arenado chooses long-term extension with Rockies over free agency next winter (WaPo)
Arenado shook up the free agent market for next year, signing for another eight years in Denver to the tune of $260 million. Anthony Rendon is now the most coveted potential free agent on the market next year — though apparently, it's an expectation that the Nats will engage Rendon seriously on extension talks the moment Bryce Harper signs a dotted line.
