Wednesday morning Nats Q&A

ST. LOUIS – So, anything interesting happen over the last 72 hours?

Suffice it to say, it's been a monumental few days around the Nationals, with arguably the most significant personnel moves the organization has ever made coming Sunday night after their loss to the Red Sox. For the first time since early 2009, Mike Rizzo is not the general manager of this team. For the first time since October 2017, Davey Martinez is not the manager of this team. The interim GM, Mike DeBartolo, shared in notable fashion Tuesday afternoon his vision for instituting "real change" in an organization that perhaps had grown stagnant. The interim manager, Miguel Cairo, shed tears as he described the internal conflict he felt when he was asked to replace his good friend in the dugout.

Meanwhile, the MLB Draft is now four days away, and the Nats have the No. 1 pick. The trade deadline is 22 days away, and DeBartolo has a whole lot to consider as he navigates his way through this critical stretch for the first time as the guy in charge. And then there are the matters of James Wood and MacKenzie Gore making their first All-Star Game (with Wood also participating in his first Home Run Derby), Keibert Ruiz going back on the 7-day injured list, Travis Sykora dealing with an injury at Double-A Harrisburg that will prevent him from pitching in the All-Star Futures Game and the fact the Nationals now employ two Luis Garcias on their 26-man roster.

You've probably got questions. I hopefully have answers. Use the comments section to submit your inquiries, and I'll do my best to answer them over the course of the morning ...
