WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Nationals have several high-profile players set to hit free agency after the 2018 season, which will make this perhaps the most crucial year in team history. There is another key member of the organization with an expiring contract to go along with Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy, Gio Gonzalez and Ryan Madson.
Mike Rizzo is entering the final season of his contract as general manager of the Nationals. He has been in the organization for 12 seasons, serving as the GM for the past nine and president of baseball operations the past five.
