ANAHEIM, Calif. — It's been just three seasons since Anthony Rendon helped lead the Washington Nationals to an unlikely World Series title in 2019. But plenty can happen in just three seasons.
The Nationals team that arrived in Anaheim for a three-game series this week, for example, is unrecognizable to Rendon. Just two healthy players — Patrick Corbin and Victor Robles — remain from the championship roster that was gutted for a rebuild.
Then there's Rendon. Three seasons ago, the Angels' third baseman was a first-time dad at his professional peak, solidifying himself as a star on the sport's biggest stage. That seems like forever ago to him. He's now a busy father with four children under the age of 5 and a baseball player simply trying to stay on the field.
