Late in the 2020 season, the Nationals' general manager and manager signed two-year deals with a club option for a third.
When Rizzo and Martinez received contract extensions in September 2020, people familiar with the matter said Rizzo had signed for three more years, keeping the president of baseball operations and general manager in Washington through 2023. With Martinez, the team declined to divulge any details and left the length of the manager’s contract unknown.
“I just want people to know that I love it here and I want to be here,” Martinez, 57, said Wednesday. “I am excited for what we’re building and want to see it through for another championship.”the World Series title in 2019 . Since, though, the Nationals have had back-to-back losing seasons and are struggling this year. Last summer, they traded eight veterans for 12 unproven players, kick-starting what Rizzo publicly calls a “reboot.” Since the sell-off, the GM has pointed to how he built a contender from 2009 to 2012, often noting that the Nationals are in much better shape now than they were then.
The club entered Wednesday with the same number of losses as the gutted Cincinnati Reds. On his weekly radio appearance with the Junkies on 106.7 the Fan on Wednesday, Rizzo said: “This isn’t a try-hard league or a work-hard league; it’s a performance league. We have to perform better.” And on Tuesday night,
, Martinez responded to whether his and the coaches’ messages had to be delivered in a different way. The question came after the Nationals stained another defeat with a defensive blooper reel.“For me it’s about addressing the issue every day,” Martinez said. “We address all the issues every day. I sit with the guys, I talk with them ... and address it. Hopefully we get better. We got some young guys that are learning and are getting better.
