Davey Martinez talks often about his routine of going home — once he finally leaves the ballpark every day — and re-watching games each night during the season.
Following his fifth campaign on the bench in Washington, D.C., which the Nationals finished at 55-107, the bench boss spent some time looking back to assess what did and didn’t work for a club which struggled throughout the 2022 season, but in his mind showed signs of improvement over the final months of their 162-game run.
“Yeah. You know what, I liked what I saw towards the end. Our defense was better,” the Nats’ skipper told reporters when he spoke at the Winter Meetings earlier this month.
