Mike Rizzo did not bite when an intrepid reporter tried to get the Washington Nationals’ GM to talk about the state of the baseball world, while Rizzo spoke on a Zoom call following the conclusion of Day 1 of the 2020 MLB Draft earlier this month.
Rizzo was asked what his state of mind was at that point, having just heard Commissioner Rob Manfred’s pronouncement that he was 100% confident there would be a 2020 season, in spite of the contentious negotiations between MLB and the MLBPA and concerns about even trying to play a season amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
