Washington Nationals’ Davey Martinez reportedly making more changes to staff...
Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty ImagesNow-former Washington Nationals’ pitching coach Paul Menhart told veteran Washington Post columnist Barry Svrluga last week that when Nats’ skipper Davey Martinez called him and told him he, Menhart, wasn’t being retained, the manager said the club was looking for, “... an older, more experienced guy, a major league-experience guy,” to guide their staff in 2021 and beyond.
That call led to some confusion for Menhart, who asked himself after 15 years as part of the organization, “‘Who in the world could be more experienced?’ That’s just human nature to say, ‘Well, who’s better than me?’”
