Mike Rizzo was circumspect when he was asked in an MLB Network appearance earlier this month about where the Washington Nationals are in their organizational reboot and what it means for their offseason spending this winter as the try to reshape their roster and build a competitive team in D.C. following their sell-off at the trade deadline this past July.
“It’s a great challenge,” Rizzo said of the reboot. “We’re excited about the challenge ahead for us, and we’ve done this before, and we think we have a good blueprint on how to try to compete in a very balanced and tough division, and we’re looking forward to the challenge of building a sustainable championship-caliber club like we have for the last ten years.
