Keibert Ruiz talked in the press conference on Saturday announcing his 8-year, reportedly $50M extension with the Washington Nationals, about looking forward to working with all the other young Nats the organization has assembled as they try to build the next championship-caliber team in the nation’s capital.
“I’m really excited to stay here for a long time,” Ruiz, 24, told reporters.
“I feel like we’ve got a good group. All these guys, all these young guys, MacKenzie Gore, Josiah Gray, and all the guys coming up from the minor leagues too, so I feel like I got to take responsibility now and I got to do my job to help this team win.
