Washington Nationals’ Ryan Zimmerman might get extension – MLB News
The Washington Nationals’ third-baseman Ryan Zimmerman is on the verge of getting an extension in his contact as some sources are speculating in the media that both sides have recently met in order to solve all the issues and put aside this extension controversy topic for a better beginning.
From last several months, Zimmerman’s late issues of extension took both sides with great difficulty. This is also to remember that Zimmerman and Nationals agreed earlier on certain matters, but lately Ryan’s agent was the one who made things slightly complicated and showed resistance to agree on proposed options.
On the other hand, putting every other irrelevant dealings apart, sources are telling the media as Zimmerman is very close to get a potential extension in his contract.
On these speculations in the local media Zimmerman also commented that, “The important part of me signing this deal is to be here, not to sign a deal that’s team-friendly to have it with another team. That’s the whole point of doing it. . . . I wouldn’t sign a deal like this for the Red Sox or the Yankees or the Dodgers or any other team. We need to do some stuff, and they need to do some stuff. We’ll see. I stay out of most of this stuff until it’s the decision time. We’ll see. We’ve come a long way from back where we started. You never know.”
Currently, Zimmerman along with his other team-mates is in Arizona (Spring Training) practicing for next Major League event. This is a good sign as Zimmerman will be getting a potential deal before the start of the next MLB season. This will also help the Nationals’ to develop a viable strategy against their opponents for a better performance next season. The Nationals are a good offensive side and when time comes, they play as one unit and that is the beauty of their game as they know where to show the full energetic game play. In the meanwhile, from another perspective, experts believe as whether Zimmerman gets an extension or not, the affects will be visible that what potentially a player can make an impact with his short or long term presence.
