Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez said on Monday afternoon, following the big announcement on Stephen Strasburg returning to the Nats on a 7-year/$245M deal, he did not allow himself to ever consider a future without the ‘09 No. 1 overall pick in the rotation in the nation’s capital.
“It wasn’t a question,” Martinez said. “I really felt that, if things go all right, that he’ll be back.
“I know he bought a house in D.C. For me, I felt like he wanted to stay or it’s just a matter of logistics.”
Once he learned that the Nationals’ World Series MVP would be returning to the only team he has ever known?
