Davey Martinez has talked since the 2022 season was winding down about the club needing pitching depth and a bat or two on the roster, coming off a dreadful, 55-107 finish to his fifth year on the bench in the nation’s capital.
Washington’s manager talked about the club’s plans for the offseason again when he spoke with reporters at the 2022 Winter Meetings in early December in San Diego, CA, before the Nationals signed pitcher Trevor Williams but after they’d added Jeimer Candelario, a switch-hitter with power potential at third base, and taken flyers on outfielder Stone Garrett and a bunch of others this offseason.
