Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo and Nats’ skipper Davey Martinez talk about roster building and preparing for 2019...

Following ten seasons as a bench coach in Tampa Bay and Chicago, Davey Martinez finally got his opportunity to manage at the major league level in 2018, leading the Nationals to a second-place, 82-80 finish. It was a disappointing result, but the 54-year-old former major leaguer and the front office in Washington are back at it again this winter, trying to build a roster to compete for the fifth NL East title in the last eight seasons.
