President Chipotle would always win cause he's got the mad runs.

He would not.  Nats are moving on...

Apparently he asked the Nats to extend his deal beyond the last two years in exchange for waiving his no trade clause.  The Nats wisely declined.

Isn't this the 2nd time he's been linked to PEDs? Or am I remembering that incorrectly...

Thought he was pretty good after he came back from his wrist a couple seasons ago. He got that cortisone shot and went nuts. Thought moving to first base was good for him. You could definitely see he was struggling at 3rd though. Line-up is going to look a wee bit different this year.

Also, Ian Desmond still hasn't been signed? Dang. I'm pretty surprised by that.

The Marlins experiment is fascinating to me.  I think Jennings fails miserably, but don't confuse that with me hoping he succeeds.  I just don't think he will...

Nats Hire Marlins Ex-Manager/GM Jennings to Help Rizzo

This probably goes better for Jennings.

He's unwilling to move from Shortstop, where his numbers are terrible defensively.  So let's see, he  doesn't walk, is terrible at the little things at the plate, is poor defensively (albeit at a position that is currently coveted so he gets a little help there) yet is unwilling to change positions, and he's tagged with a Qualifying Offer after a horrendous season.

Sounds like San Diego's kind of guy to me!  At least they won't lose a first round draft pick.

Just be happy he rejected the Nats 7-year $107m offer....

Rizzo should have been shitcanned along with his drinking buddy..but yeah this is sort of like saying "we dont' really trust your judgment anymore so we're hiring this guy to keep an eye on you and if you fuck up some more he's going to replace you....you're on the very short leash"

I had an enjoyable drunken text conversation with Hoya about "Never Trade with Rizzo" after this deal and I agree, he does well in trades.

But his FA deals have been awful.  Maybe this will help....
