Too long of a deal for a player that turns 32 during the season and has that type of injury history. The Nats should have spent on Rendon and a couple second tier pitchers instead.
The Nats farm system pitching wise is a walking nightmare right now (no pun intended). Hitting wise they have like 4-5 more Sotos on the way so it was more imperative to do this and let Rendon go. Especially with Scherzer probably retiring in the next 2-3 seasons

Good pitcher, but 31 years old. In the era of stricter team budgets and valuing prospects, it'll be interesting to see this in a couple years. $35 mil a year is stout.
im pretty sure they can still afford rendon
Maybe but they still have quite a few more holes to fill and they won’t be able to do that + sign Rendon without going over the luxury taxim pretty sure they can still afford rendon
That is a ton for a 31 year old pitcher. But the Nats could not afford to let him go
Huge deal for a 31 year old but there could be a lot of deferred money as the Nats love doing that.
Record deal for a pitcher as Price was 217 M.
@BMOK33 says a lot of crazy wrong things but this might take the cake4-5 more Soto's? My impression is the Nats don't have much pitching or hitting wise other than Carter Kieboom at 2nd base. Most sites have the Nats entire farm system ranked near the bottom.
