The agent for Ryan Zimmerman visited the Nationals at Spring Training this week as the third baseman's deadline for a contract extension looms. Zimmerman has said that he wants to sign a contract that will keep him in Washington for the remainder of his career. However, he has also been adamant about his desire to table talks by the start of Spring Training to avoid any distractions. The sides have had no recent talks or developments. Zimmerman has said that he will test free agency if he doesn't have a contract extension in place by the beginning of the 2013 season.
