Matt Williams: No discussions with Nationals management about returning

NEW YORK — Matt Williams thumped his hands on a desk once, twice for emphasis.

“This is not going to be a distraction any more,” Williams, the Washington Nationals’ manager, said Saturday. “It’s not.”

With speculation swirling that he’ll soon be out of a job after a tough season, Williams said he hasn’t talked to team management about his status for 2016.

“Nobody’s spoken to me about anything,” he said in his office before a doubleheader against the New York Mets. “Frankly, it’s not a concern of mine.”

“We’ll see what the future holds,” he said.
