Did Wade Boggs just break the Dave Martinez to the Nationals news?

It looks as though Joe Maddon may be out another assistant. This one, however, wasn't shown the door.

According to Wade Boggs' official Twitter account, Cubs bench coach Dave Martinez will be named the new manager of the Washington Nationals.

Congrats to former teammate Dave Martinez on the Nat 's job great baseball guy good luck ud83dudc4d

Boggs and Martinez are apparently good friends, so the information could very well be reliable. Also, who needs journalists anyways?

Martinez – Maddon’s right-hand man with the Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays – has long been linked to managerial vacancies, but this would be his first opportunity to lead an MLB club.
