If you were out there hoping GM and President of Baseball Operations Mike Rizzo might shed some more light on what actually led to CJ Abrams’ surprising demotion to Triple-A (actually West Palm Beach, FL) during the Nationals’ stop in Chicago, IL, you are going to disappointed with his answers from Wednesday’s visit with Audacy’s The Sports Junkies.
While Rizzo addressed the tough decision on Abrams, he did not add much beyond what skipper Davey Martinez already said in the immediate aftermath of the news breaking this past weekend.
“He was optioned to Triple-A like a lot of players are,” Rizzo told The Junkies.
