| The Nationals announced Cairo would take over as interim manager Monday, one day after ousting Dave Martinez and longtime general manager Mike Rizzo. Cairo, who previously served as Martinez's bench coach, will now guide a Nationals team that includes outfielder James Wood and lefty MacKenzie Gore, two young talents who were named all-stars Sunday. The changes in Washington come amid a long rebuild for the franchise, which has shed its stars in the years since its 2019 World Series triumph. |
