Davey Martinez got his new multi-year extension done first, as was the plan, as GM Mike Rizzo explained it. But the sixth-year skipper in the nation’s capital was thrilled with the news Rizzo got his own deal a few weeks later, meaning they would get to see the reboot they kicked off in 2021 through.
“I got a great relationship with Mike,” the manager told reporters.
“I’m really happy they got [Rizzo’s extension] done ... and we get to work together for many more years and build something again. We won a championship together and we get to try to do it again here and do it again fairly quickly.
