Mike Rizzo got a two-year deal, which included a club option for 2023 in late 2020, after the Nationals won the first World Series by a D.C.-based team since 1924 in 2019, and Washington’s skipper, Davey Martinez, was extended then as well, on his own two-year deal with a club option for ‘23 at $3.5M. Both club options needed to be exercised by July 15th of 2022.
The club didn’t wait until the last possible minute, announcing yesterday they picked both options up, giving the organization some stability at the top as the current owners explore potentially selling the team.
