washington nationals mike debartolo miguel cairo.

Washington Nationals interim general manager Mike DeBartolo and interim manager Miguel Cairo are ready to try to turn around an organization that’s had the second-worst record in the majors since 2020. The Nationals fired manager Dave Martinez and longtime president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo after Sunday’s 6-4 loss to Boston, which dropped Washington to 37-53 on the season and 9-23 since June 1. DeBartolo says he wants to bring a “fresh voice” and integrate more data into the team’s decison-making. Cairo was close with Martinez and says “it’s hard” to be talking to reporters as his replacement.
