WASHINGTON – Thanks to the pandemic, this has been a terrible year financially for many companies and organizations throughout North America – and the world.
And those challenges have hit Major League Baseball and now the Nationals.
The Athletic’s Britt Ghiroli reported on Thursday that the team plans to trim staff in scouting, baseball operations, and research and development.
That doesn’t include Mike Cubbage, a long-time assistant to general manager Mike Rizzo.
Cubbage, a former standout at the University of Virginia, confirmed later on Thursday to Federal Baseball he was retiring at the end of this month.
