Washington Nationals Amidst the team’s struggles, manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo were fired on Sunday in a massive organized shakeup.
Reported movements By ESPN, It’ll be coming a few hours after Natt fell this weekend to the Boston Red Sox and the 6-4 Boston Red Sox, which were sweeps at Nationals Park.
Washington has been at the bottom of the NL East Division for quite some time, owning a 37-53 record in Sunday’s losses. And although this loss was close, in the first two games of the series, the Nationals were blown away at their 11-2 and 10-3 home parks.

The team is currently 2-10 in June and struggles hard to run across the plate, averaging just 2.5 per game.
Washington owns a very young team, but it’s a talented group that doesn’t take ownership of Stride.
“On behalf of our family and the Washington National Organization, I would like to thank Mike and Davey for our franchise and for their contributions to our city,” Principal Mark D. Lerner said in a statement. “Our family is forever grateful for their years of dedication to the organization, including their role in bringing the World Series Trophy to Washington, DC, while appreciating past successes. Performances on the field are not where we and our fans expect.

There was also a time this season when Martinez became burning when asked about his offensive struggle. After losing to Miami Marlins Last month, Martinez, who pushed the Nats’ losses to seven consecutive games, issued a bold statement when he asked a reporter questions.

On Sunday, the Nationals left 15 runners on base and were unable to get a timely hit to save the series’ game.
With the All-Stars moving ahead after this week’s game, the Nationals quickly moved from Martinez and Rizzo, which were pivotal pieces to win the team’s World Series Championship in 2019.
When the team won their first World Series, Martinez was manager, but after that the team began rebuilding. Rizzo traded young star Juan Soto for the San Diego Padres and Josh Bell in August 2022.
The deal gave the prospects for Robert Hassel III, CJ Abrams, Mackenzie Gore and James Wood. All of these have an impact on the people today. Jarin Susana, who had signed the contract, remains a minor.

However, the results for this field have not been the same since the 2019 season. Because the Nationals aren’t the fourth in the NL East and have not reached the postseason in the last five seasons.
Mike De Bartoro, the team’s senior vice president and assistant general manager, has been appointed interim general manager, but the team will announce on Monday to decide who the interim manager will be.
