The Nationals, having lost 20 of their last 27 games, made the significant decision to fire GM Mike Rizzo and manager Davey Martinez. This firing appears more related to heightened frustration after recent losses to the Red Sox than to overall performance, which has been disappointing since their World Series win. Owner Mark Lerner's stewardship has been characterized by a drastic reduction in payroll and unmet expectations. The team has failed to achieve their aim of being youthful yet competitive, consistently delivering below-par results.
The Nationals' recent performance showcases a devastating trend: they've lost 20 of their last 27 games, marking their continued slide into mediocrity since their World Series win.
Owner Mark Lerner has contributed little to the Nationals beyond announcing he wouldn't sell the team, while the payroll halved, leading to a significant drop in performance.
