The Nationals did not need a new manager. I am sure Dave Martinez will do fine, but the Nationals did not need a new manager. However, they go through managers so quickly it should hardly be considered a surprise. It takes time for managers to build relationships and to build a clubhouse dynamic, something Dusty Baker was able to do quickly and do well. That management of personalities is, arguably, just as important as in-game strategy. It is something David Martinez will have to learn and then rebuild this season. In firing Dusty Baker, the Washington Nationals took another step backward.
