If the Washington Nationals’ brass has any reservations about sending 20 and 21-year-olds out as two-thirds of their Opening Day outfield, (which is the plan, barring an insurgent run by Michael A. Taylor), they aren’t showing it. Maybe they have good poker faces. Though, in an MLB Network Radio interview on Thursday afternoon, GM Mike Rizzo said he really does not have a good poker face*.
In separate interviews from West Palm Beach, FL, both Rizzo and skipper Davey Martinez talked about going with Juan Soto in left and Victor Robles in center (with Adam Eaton in right field) in the Nationals’ post-Bryce Harper 2019 outfield.
