Director Dave Martinez and General Manager Mike Rizeo were expelled before Washington is citizens On Sunday in the moves that were surprising to its timing, even if the club is more than the middle of the sixth consecutive loss season since its victory in the 2019 World Championship.
The team announced the changes a few hours after the completion of Washington’s 6-4 loss at home. Boston Red Sox. Citizens 37-53 and others in East NL; The only national league club that recorded the worst is Colorado Rocky.
But the amateur draft is only a week, and Washington has general choice No. 1.
Vice President and Assistant General Mike Dibarolo takes over a temporary basis. Martinez’s alternative has not been called immediately.
Washington could have practiced options to expand the contracts of Martinez and Rizo after this season.
“While we appreciate their previous successes, the performance on the field was not the place where we or our fans expect,” said Mark Lerner, the owner of the citizens, in a statement issued by the team. “This is a pivotal time for our club, and we believe that following a new approach and new energy is the best path to work for our team to move forward.”
Rizzo has ended for citizens after more than a decade and a half. Rizzo was one of the first first Lerner family when he took control of the organization, and Rizzo GM was since 2009 and added the title head of baseball operations in 2013.
“He has played an effective role in leading our farm system’s transformation and building a list that has reached an unprecedented level of organizational success,” said Lenner. “Mike helped us to make us as a organization, and we are grateful to him for his hard work and dedication.”
Martinez is the fourth manager that has been launched since the beginning of this season – after Derek Shelton from Pittsburgh, Brandon Hyde from Colorado. Martinez’s full record with citizens was 500-622. Last month, he was wandering about a reporter’s question about how to divide the blame for the weak performance between the players and his employees.
“He is never on training,” said Martinez at the time. “They have never trained. The coaches (their punishment) work every day. We will not finger the point here and say it is coaches. It is never for the coaches. They are working hard.
Martinez was not a manager at any level when Rizzo rented him to replace Dusty Baker before the 2018 season. Citizens 82-80 went in the Martinez I season and started at the beginning of 19-31 the following year, which led to his replacement with some invitations.
But Rizzo is stuck with Martinez, and this decision was performed in a big way: led by the starting jugs Stephen Strasbourg, who won the rank of honors from the MVP series in the world, and Max Scharzer, rising football player Juan Soto, Shortstop Shortstop Turner and a series of old warriors – including Howe Kendrick, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan Zimmerman.
No one from the world series list is still playing with the concession.
Washington took a step back in the 2020 season, then Rizu began to tear the list, making a series of trading that sent Sherrizer, Soto, Turner and others elsewhere.
The reconstruction process continued, without much in the way of concrete progress in order to show it, although the team has some construction blocks that show the promise, including the beginning of McKinsey Gore and football player James Wood-both called NL All-Stars on Sunday-besides CJ Abrams, who was in all stars a year ago.
“Citizens’ lovers have a lot to be optimistic about it, and we see these changes as difficult, but necessary in a positive direction.” “As was the case since my late father took control of the team nearly 20 years ago, our family is still committed to winning.”
Washington ranked fourth or fifth in NL East every year from 2020 to 2024, and has never gathered a profitable percentage than. 438 (71-91) each last two seasons.
“I have always been able and admired by Divi’s passion for the baseball and love that has his players,” Lerner said. “Derevi’s ability to communicate with our employees, players, our wonder and our community to dismantle it. While this chapter has ended, we know that the book does not close about what should continue to be a long and successful profession in the baseball game.”
