Open Extended ReactionsThe Washington Nationals have named bench coach Miguel Cairo as their interim manager, the team announced Monday. Cairo, a native of Venezuela who played for nine teams over 17 MLB seasons from 1996 to 2012, replaces Dave Martinez, who was fired along with general manager Mike Rizzo on Sunday. The White Sox went 18-16 down the stretch under Cairo but failed to reach the playoffs. "Miguel is well-respected in our organization and around baseball," Nationals interim general manager Mike DeBartolo said in a statement. DeBartolo, the club's senior vice president and assistant general manager, was named interim GM on Sunday night and will oversee all aspects of baseball operations, including the MLB draft.
