The Washington Nationals know changes are coming. When GM Mike Rizzo talked earlier this month about preparing dual paths in his approach to MLB’s July 30th trade deadline, the General Manager and President of Baseball Operations in the nation’s capital said he would determine which path to take based on how the club played over the intervening weeks leading up to the deadline.
“We still have some games to play before we make those kind of decisions, but I think a dual path is probably the most advantageous for us right now,” Rizzo explained, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman.
