Limited news is good news for the Washington Nationals.
General manager Mike Rizzo didn’t have many updates Thursday during a conference call with reporters, but Nats fans will like what he did have: Right-handed pitcher Stephen Strasburg will be “full-go” during the offseason and into spring training. Same with right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley, Rizzo said.
Other than that, Rizzo stuck to his approach of not revealing much.
The Nationals lost in the first round of the playoffs for the third time in five seasons. This time, it was a 3-2 National League Division Series defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers after going in front 2-1.
