Fired Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo plans to treat fans at two Washington sports bars before the All-Star Home Run Derby. Rizzo expressed gratitude in a social media post, including an offer called "Round on Riz". He and manager Dave Martinez were dismissed as the Nationals faced a sixth consecutive losing season after winning the World Series in 2019. Rizzo had served as GM since 2009 and was named president of baseball operations in 2013.
"From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every fan who has supported my goal to lead this franchise to greatness with integrity, honesty and professionalism," Rizzo wrote. "D.C. has become our home in every sense of the word and I could not imagine a better place to have done it all together than the nation's capital."
Rizzo posted on social media Friday an extended 'thank you' to fans, which included an offer to buy a 'Round on Riz' over a couple of hours before Monday's Home Run Derby in Atlanta.
