There is big news in Nats town though as a bunch of scouts are getting the heave ho. It started with Johnny DiPuglia, who had been here basically since the start of Rizzo's time as GM, resigning. Maybe it was to avoid being fired, maybe it was because a bunch of scouts were going to be let go, because next a bunch of scouts were let go.
Has the scouting been good? Well, no. At home, as most fans will tell you, it's been pretty bad with the Nats producing woefully little from the draft for years in comparison to other teams. Now you could argue it's a development issues not a scouting one but I definitely can't speak to that (and you probably can't either). Internationally it's been ok generally though weaker recently hitting a nadir this year with the Nats Dominican Summer team being very very bad.
The real question is though - what does this mean for Rizzo. Are these things he has to do to stay on? Are these things that might cause him to leave? Do you care?
