Veteran catcher Kurt Suzuki was asked what if anything he was told about his role, and how many games he’ll start in 2019, when he spoke to reporters after signing a 2-year/$10M free agent deal with Washington last week.
“[Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo] told my agent from Day 1 that I’m their guy,” Suzuki said.
“Whether I’m a guy that catches 120 games or 90 games or whatever they want me to do, you know, I just told them I’ll be ready to do whatever you want and [Rizzo] said I’m going to play, obviously, but I just said whatever you need me to do.
