Report: Nationals, Manager Dave Martinez Agree to Contract Extension

Nationals manager Dave Martinez is extending his contract with the team, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman.

Martinez had previously been on a three-year, $2.8 million contract which he signed in 2017, but he had a club option of $1.2 million to extend his contract through the 2021 season. The details of his new deal are still unclear, according to Heyman.

The Washington Post also reported that the two parties had agreed to an extension.

The news comes just weeks after the Nationals secured an extension with their general manager, Mike Rizzo, through the 2023 season.
