In a conversation with reporters last week, Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo made it seem like the defending NL East champions were happy with their roster as it stands now, saying that most of the work he wanted to do this winter got done early in the offseason. Was this just another example of the poker-faced General Manager refusing to give it up when reporters tried to pry something out of him? They don’t call him “Run Silent Rizzo” for nothing. [ed. note - “Nobody calls him that.”]
“We kind of got our shopping done quickly,” Rizzo explained, as quoted by MLB.
