Washington Nationals’ manager Dave Martinez not running away from high expectations for 2018 Nats...

When the Washington Nationals interviewed Dave Martinez back in 2013, before they went with another first-time skipper, Matt Williams, the then-Tampa Bay bench coach talked a lot about how he and Rays’ skipper Joe Maddon handled things together.

When he interviewed for the Nationals’ managerial opening this time around, GM Mike Rizzo said recently, Martinez talked more about how he would handle things if he were the manager in the nation’s capital.
