Rendon would have gotten all that money this year in the final season of a seven-year, $245 million contract, but that would have meant going through the motions of trying a comeback from hip surgery. Instead, now, he won’t be under any obligations with the team. He remains on the 40-man roster, and he’ll be placed on the 60-day IL once spring training starts.

Rendon is due $38 million in the final season of a seven-year, $245 million contract that is on the very short list of the most ill-fated deals of all-time. The first six seasons saw him play in a total of 257 games, and he missed all of 2025 after hip surgery. Rendon, 35, is actually just a one-time All-Star, though he had three top-six NL MVP finishes during his time with the Nationals. It’s hard to remember now, but he also finished 10th in the AL MVP balloting in his initial year with the Angels, when he hit .286/.418/.491 during the shortened 2020 season. He’s since batted .231/.329/.336 with 13 homers in 863 plate appearances.
