Amid continued rumors that pitcher Stephen Strasburg could be targeted by his hometown team, the San Diego Padres, in free agency, a new report suggests that the 2019 World Series MVP is likely to re-sign with the Washington Nationals in a few weeks’ time.
Appearing on Monday’s edition of High Heat with Christopher Russo on MLB Network, MLB.com‘s Mark Feinsand said that he doesn’t expect a repeat of the last free agency season, where highly-regarded players such as Bryce Harper and Manny Machado remained unsigned until February. After speculating that pitcher Gerrit Cole and third baseman Anthony Rendon will likely be signed before Strasburg, Feinsand talked about his expectations for the 31-year-old right-hander, suggesting that he could potentially re-sign with the Nationals before this year’s Winter Meetings kick off in San Diego on December 8.
