Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo didn’t mince words when he talked to reporters about the decision to reboot the organization with a series of trades which dealt expiring contracts (and a year-plus of Trea Turner) at the July 30th deadline this past summer.
It was a difficult but necessary step, he explained.
“Yesterday was probably as tough a day as I’ve had as a General Manager,” Rizzo said. “The good thing about this group is that we’ve got everything out of this group that we could have got out.”
