WASHINGTON - Davey Martinez parlayed his World Series title in 2019 to a contract extension after a down 2020 season for the Washington Nationals.
Whatever the future may hold for Martinez, the Nationals clearly have something that has been in short supply since 2005: stability in the manager’s office.
Here is a look at the managers who have come before him with the Nationals and our grade on their tenure in the nation’s capital:
FRANK ROBINSON (2005-2006)
The former All-Star right fielder was the manager with the Montreal Expos from 2002-04 so he also made the move to Washington in time for the return of baseball in 2005.
