When the Washington Nationals jog onto the field for Opening Day next March, their roster could look very different than the one they’ve had in 2019.
Barring an extension, Anthony Rendon is expected to be one of the top free agents available this winter and he will likely be joined by teammates Ryan Zimmerman, Brian Dozier, Howie Kendrick, Yan Gomes and Jeremy Hellickson on the open market.
But behind Rendon, the most highly-coveted Nationals star with the opportunity to take his chances as a free agent this offseason is starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who can opt out of the remaining four years and $100 million of his contract after this season.
