Ryan Clary, host of Locked On Nationals, discusses the legacies of former Nationals executive Mike Rizzo and manager Davey Martinez. He argues that while their departures were necessary, fans should remember their contributions to the team's success, including the 2019 World Series win. Clary analyzes Rizzo's player development struggles but highlights his shrewd trades, particularly the Juan Soto deal. He defends Martinez's managerial skills when given talented rosters and explains the circumstances leading to recent poor performances. Clary emphasizes the need for patience as the Nationals enter a new era under Paul Toboni, cautioning against unrealistic expectations for immediate success. 0:00 Intro: Discussing Rizzo and Martinez's legacy 5:07 Rizzo's franchise-altering Juan Soto trade 11:47 Davey Martinez's managerial tenure analyzed 18:24 Martinez's success with talented rosters 22:58 New era: Challenges for Paul Toboni Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
