If I'm the Nats, I'm betting that Rendon doesn't want to play all that long. He's a different cat, with different motivations. I'm saying this based on the things he's said, like that he's already made enough money to be set for life.

 I'd offer him big dollars for five years, see if he'll bite.


Not a bad approach IMO.
Bad pitching demoralizes a team more than bad hitting(scoring runs). Good pitching will at least keep you in the game. Obviously they are both bad but like the Lerners, I would also move my top dollars towards pitching over hitting if it were my choice.
Rendon is a nice player in his prime however, if he isn’t willing to take a reasonable hometown offer let him walk too. Garcia is also “A REALLY NICE PLAYER” worth the risk to save the dollars for pitching.
I really like Rendon’s bat and glove but I would not overpay - along with his history of injury.
22million x 7years is about right or bye-bye.

GO NAAAAAAAAAATS!!!
