The Los Angeles Angels and third baseman Anthony Rendon are in talks about buying out the final year of his contract, potentially bringing a resolution to the seven-year, $245 million deal that did not come close to paying dividends, a source told ESPN on Wednesday.

Khris Middleton's future with the Washington Wizards doesn't have an expiration date, but since the beginning of the season it's become abundantly clear that his departure is closer than it may seem. The veteran forward entered the season looking to prove that not only could he be a difference maker in the development of the young core on the roster, but that he still has plenty left in the tank.

He is now free to sign with any team, including those in both aprons, despite earning greater than $14.1 million.
