Nationals Fire GM Mike Rizzo, Manager Davey Martinez

[RealGM Wiretap]

The last-place Washington Nationals fired president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo and manager Davey Martinez, the team announced Sunday.

Rizzo, 64, and Martinez, 60, won a World Series with the Nationals in 2019, but the team has floundered in recent years. This season, the Nationals are 37-53 and stuck at the bottom of the National League East after getting swept by the Boston Red Sox this weekend at home. Washington hasn\'t finished higher than fourth in the division since winning the World Series.

I think Martinez was long overdue. Rizzo has put the Nationals in a good spot with the young talent he recouped from the Soto trade, but when it rains it pours.
