Rendon loses Gold Glove Award to Arenado again

Rendon loses Gold Glove Award to Arenado again
Anthony Rendon is widely regarded as one of the best third basemen in the sport. But for now, he continues to be regarded as a notch below Nolan Arenado. For the third consecutive year, Rendon finished behind Arenado for the Gold Glove Award at third base. The awards, presented annually by Rawlings, were handed out this evening. Rendon has been a finalist (i.e., one of the top three vote-getters at his position) each of the last three years. But each time the quiet Nationals star has finished...

Rosenthal passes physical, signing announced
Trevor Rosenthal's signing with the Nationals became official this morning after the right-hander passed a physical, giving the club its first free agent addition of the offseason.

With qualifying offer to Harper, Nats' comp pick is set (updated)
The Nationals will submit a qualifying offer to Bryce Harper before today's 5 p.m., a club source confirmed, the latest of several procedural steps that are set to be taken as the star outfielder enters free agency. The qualifying offer - a one-year contract worth $17.9 million - is required if the Nationals want to receive draft-pick compensation should Harper ultimately sign with another club, though today's move doesn't change the likelihood of him either staying or going.

Solano elects free agency after clearing outright waivers

Solano elects free agency after clearing outright waivers
Catcher Jhonatan Solano, who has spent the better part of the last decade in the Nationals organization, has elected to become a free agent after he cleared outright waivers in a transaction that opened up a spot on the club's 40-man roster. Solano was supposed to open this season at Triple-A Syracuse, but he quickly was promoted to Washington in early April after Matt Wieters went on the disabled list and Miguel Montero went on paternity leave. He spent only three days on the active roster,...

Rosenthal deal gives Nats another late-inning power arm

Rosenthal deal gives Nats another late-inning power arm
The Nationals, like most clubs, typically take their time in free agency, wait out the market and strike when they have an opportunity to sign a player over the winter. Today, they showed they aren't afraid to dive right in, though, and swoop up an appealing free agent only days after he became eligible to negotiate with teams. In agreeing to terms with Trevor Rosenthal, the Nats made a rare Halloween transaction to add an experienced and accomplished power arm to the back end of their...
