Open Extended ReactionsThe last-place Washington Nationals fired president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo and manager Dave 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. Washington hasn't finished higher than fourth in the division since winning the World Series. "On behalf of our family and the Washington Nationals organization, I first and foremost want to thank Mike and Davey for their contributions to our franchise and our city," principal owner Mark Lerner said in a statement. Rizzo has been the top decision-maker in Washington since 2013, and Martinez has been on board since 2018.
