Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said Friday it is too early in the season to “pull the plug” on manager Dave Martinez and make drastic changes to the roster.
Rizzo addressed reporters before the start of a four-game series against the Miami Marlins. The Nationals (19-31) have the fourth-worst record in baseball and have lost five straight.
“We’re certainly not going to pull the plug before we’re a third of the way through the season,” Rizzo said. “We’re a big-league club, we’ve got a talented big-league roster and we got to play better baseball.
