Mike Rizzo says the Washington Nationals aren't giving up hope that they'll be able to sign Anthony Rendon to a contract extension.

In an appearance on The Racing Presidents podcast, Rizzo made it clear that the Nationals won't stop trying to get Rendon to agree to a new deal until he provides "a definitive decision" one way or another.

Rendon is hitting .307/.393/.621 in 303 plate appearances this season.
