Despite what Mark Lerner says, the Washington Nationals can “afford” both Stephen Strasburg and Anthony Rendon

Much like last offseason, things are far from dull for the Washington Nationals right now.

Last winter, the team’s offseason hinged on how they handled the free agency of Bryce Harper. In the end, the Nats put very limited effort into retaining the outfielder, changing the course of franchise history forever as they won the World Series without him.

This time around, the Nats’ offseason will hinge on what they decide to do with two of their other former first-round picks who are now free agents in Anthony Rendon and Stephen Strasburg.
