MLB Free Agency Rumors: Anthony Rendon Agrees To 7-Year Contract With Angels

After defeating the Houston Astros to capture their first World Series championship in franchise history, the Washington Nationals saw two of their top players hit the open market.

One was Stephen Strasburg, whose brilliance throughout the month of October culminated with World Series MVP honors. An overall excellent 2019 campaign positioned the right-hander for a hefty payday, and his performance in the postseason only helped matters.

Despite receiving interest from other teams, Strasburg agreed to a record-breaking contract with the Nationals on Day 1 of the Winter Meetings in San Diego, keeping him atop their starting rotation for the foreseeable future.
