Washington Nationals news & notes: Talent evaluation; Do Lane Thomas & Joey Meneses fit?

In his Zoom call with reporters after signing a multi-year extension in Washington D.C., GM Mike Rizzo talked extensively about how Nationals’ talent evaluators were assessing players in the organization at the minor and major league levels as they try to determine which may end up being part of the core Washington’s next championship roster.

What is Rizzo himself watching as he evaluates players who make it up to the majors?

Is he looking at statistics? Overall play? Specific areas of their games?

“I think it’s a combination of all those things,” he explained.
