Davey Martinez has talked since the start of Spring Training about how impressed he’s been with the shape his team showed up in last Sunday, when they finally started the season following the 99-day lockout which ended with MLB and the MLBPA agreeing on a new CBA.
Martinez reiterated late this week how happy he was about the messaging from his staff getting through, and the players doing what they needed to while the negotiations were playing out.
“Yeah, I mean, like I said, before the lockout I made sure that we reached out to every one and let them know that when this happens, it will happen quick,” the Nationals’ skipper said.
