Once the 2023 Trade Deadline passed this past August 1st (at 6:00 PM ET), it was time to get back to work for Davey Martinez and his club.
“A couple of our players came in at 6:01 p.m. and asked, ‘Am I still here?’” Martinez told reporters.
“I go, ‘Yeah, you guys are good. You got traded to the Washington Nationals, so congratulations. Keep playing.’”
The morning after the ‘23 deadline, GM Mike Rizzo talked with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies about the club’s goals for the 2024 campaign after the club, in his opinion, made real strides in terms of developing their young core in the majors and minors this season.
