Pitching is king. Mike Rizzo constantly reinforces this point, verbally and with his actions. And one of the biggest actions on that front was bringing Patrick Corbin into the Washington Nationals’ revamped rotation.
The left-hander signed a six-year, $140 million deal way back in December. He was by far the best pitcher on the market and the Nationals still think the best is yet to come.
“We like that the needle is moving north at 29 years old, and we like the fact that all the sexy stats come into play,” Rizzo said at Corbin’s introductory press conference.
