The Washington Nationals have fired manager Davey Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo due to a failed rebuild. Martinez displayed dissatisfaction with his players while supporting his coaching staff. Rizzo's tenure was plagued by various shortcomings, which left the franchise stagnant. The organization now has hope with interim GM Mike DeBartolo, who emphasizes using analytics and modern technology, a stark contrast to Rizzo's approach. DeBartolo's enthusiasm is shared within the team, marking a shift toward a more progressive direction for the Nationals' future.

Five people in the front office... cast Monday as the most optimistic they have felt about the future.
