Davey Martinez on Wednesday praised the work ethic on display from all the players who arrived in West Palm Beach, Florida for the start of Spring Training, some of them in advance of the official report date.
“For me, honestly, it feels like Day 25,” the Nationals’ skipper joked. “A lot of guys have been here early. Very enthusiastic. Their work ethic has been really, really good for a few weeks, even though today was Day 1. Seeing everybody together, getting everybody into the ‘Circle of Trust’, talking to them guys, a lot of energy today, which was awesome, it was a lot of fun.
