Extend Rendon

[varoadking]

Grant's bumbling word salads make Tony sound like Cicero delivering soaring oratory from the top of palatine hill

Pure gold... 

[spidernat]

younger professionals come out (my social media feeds are full of nats games), they tend to hang out in the bullpen more or in the public drinking areas

[rileyn]

And I think the STH base will be smaller next year barring a good playoff run. But Rendon's constant chatter about attendance is tiresome. Y'all worry about y'all selves. In other words, win some damn playoff series and the fans will get more excited.

Is the same Anthony Rendon that says he doesn't watch other baseball games because baseball is too boring? 

[rileyn]

I was in Dallas this week, they've got a new ballpark coming on-line next season.  I'm guessing they make a heck of a push to bring in the local boy to be the star attraction.

Richard Justice referred to Rendon yesterday as, "future Texas Ranger, Anthony Rendon......"

Svrluga reports Nats offered 7 years at around $210-215 million.

To me, it seems a reasonable offer.  But then why the hell did they offer Harper 10 years (at the same AAV).  Rendon is far more valuable.

Very reasonable. He isn’t worth more than Arenado.

[spidernat]

it's a token offer if it contains deferred money, how much is deferred?

This. How much is deferred. With the deferments, Harper' contract probably held a value of around 200 million if you account for inflation and a lack of interest being earned.

For the record, the article says it has the same deferment schedule as Max

The offer to Rendon, in contrast, is structured similarly to the seven-year, $210 million deal the Nationals gave to pitcher Max Scherzer prior to the 2015 season. The deferrals, according to these people, are to be paid off within the seven years after the contract expires.

[varoadking]

He's gone...

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

Stop with the god damn deferrals.

[Natsinpwc]

The Lerners are living in a dream world.

[Slateman]

Maybe we can keep Soto

[GburgNatsFan]

Crazy. But then, Bryce's offer had in it 100 million that paid out until 2052. Jesus Christ.

[DCFan]

We knew this was coming so why the anguish? Time to ride his grinning ass all the way through the series and see if we can sign Donaldson and if that doesn’t work get Kieboom ready for the opener.

[HalfSmokes]

Too bad he has an agent adverse to extension

[GburgNatsFan]

Nice to know you, Tony. Thanks for the thrills.

[Slateman]

I'm pretty sure the Braves are going to keep Donaldson. AA knows him and hes from the area. They can play Riley in LF and Acuna in RF. Inciarte can play CF until Panche is ready.

[spidernat]

Will the Lerner's accept deferred payments on beer, food and concessions at the stadium?

That's nuts.  Max deferred half his contract.  They are trying that crud again

[JCA-CrystalCity]

we should go to the park with Ant the Former Nat signs.

It seems the approach is similar to what we did with Harper - make him a fair offer and if he takes it great, if not, we move on.  We aren't going to, and probably shouldn't overpay if there's a team like Texas that wants to do for him what Philly did for Harper.

I really want to seen Anthony back, but if $30 million a year over 7 years can't get it done, then so be it.  Assuming the $215m is accurate, this is only about $800k less per year than what Arenado got (though Arenado got an extra year for $32 million)

Actual free agency will increase the price over an extension- he’s getting more than Arenado if that’s his goal

that seems like an overpay. Arenado was also a year younger.
