Facing eight consecutive losses, the Washington Nationals decided to shift the narrative by promoting top prospect Brady House from Triple-A. This move comes on the heels of manager Dave Martinez's controversial comments, which appeared to put blame on players for the team's struggles. Despite calls for House's promotion earlier in the week, it seems general manager Mike Rizzo sought to rejuvenate the team's morale. Martinez defended his comments regarding the players and emphasized the importance of unity and resilience within the team as they navigate through this tough phase.
The [players] were great. I talked to a lot of them already. It wasn't on them. My comments were nothing about them. They know that.
We went through this before. We've lost seven or eight before. We've got to stick together. All of us, 26 players, all the coaching staff, everybody.
