Rendon comes up short in Gold Glove voting to Arenado

Rendon comes up short in Gold Glove voting to Arenado
Anthony Rendon is widely regarded as one of the best defensive third basemen in the National League. But he's not regarded as being better than Nolan Arenado, and so this evening Rendon was left to watch as his counterpart from the Rockies won the Gold Glove Award over him. Arenado was the choice by NL managers and coaches who submitted their votes at the end of the regular season, the fourth straight Gold Glove victory for the 25-year-old who has only been in the big leagues four...

No qualifying offer from Nationals to Ramos, now a free agent

No qualifying offer from Nationals to Ramos, now a free agent
The Nationals will not extend a qualifying offer to Wilson Ramos before today's 5 p.m. EST deadline, according to a source familiar with the decision, making the rehabbing catcher a free agent who can now sign with any club in baseball. The decision, which had been expected since Ramos suffered a major knee injury in late September, doesn't prevent him from re-signing with the Nationals this winter. But it both makes his departure more likely and prevents the Nats from receiving any...

Nationals pick up Gonzalez's 2017 option, cut loose Petit
Gio Gonzalez is returning to the Nationals in 2017 - and possibly 2018. Yusmeiro Petit is returning to the free agent market. The Nationals announced today they have picked up Gonzalez's $12 million option for next season, keeping the veteran left-hander in their rotation. But they are declining Petit's $3 million option, cutting loose the rubber-armed reliever. The decision to retain Gonzalez may at first glance raise some eyebrows, given the pitcher's erratic performance this season and...
