The Washington Nationals are shaking things up after a rough stretch, firing manager Dave Martinez and longtime executive Mike Rizzo. Interim replacements Mike DeBartolo (GM) and Miguel Cairo (manager) are stepping in, with DeBartolo promising a "fresh voice" while Cairo admits filling Martinez’s shoes won’t be easy. The team’s been struggling—second-worst record in MLB since 2020—but DeBartolo sees hope in their young talent.

Editor’s Note: The Nationals are in full reset mode, and while change can be messy, it’s a clear sign they’re tired of losing. DeBartolo’s optimism about young players hints at a longer rebuild, but Cairo’s candidness about the challenge ahead keeps expectations in check. For fans, it’s a wait-and-see moment: will this fresh start pay off, or is more pain coming?
