ANALYSIS/OPINION
You have to admit, the Washington Nationals have put together an impressive individual trophy case under general manager Mike Rizzo’s tenure.
From 2012 to now, the franchise has had a National League Rookie of the Year (Bryce Harper 2012), an NL Most Valuable Player (Harper again, 2015), NL Manager of the Year (two of them, Davey Johnson in 2012 and Matt Williams in 2014), and now an NL Cy Young Award winner. And they had a third manager, Dusty Baker, who finished in the top three in voting, and a rookie, Trea Turner finish second for Rookie of the Year honors.
