The team announced Sunday that it has fired manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo. Washington is 37-53 on the season, sitting in fifth place in the NL East. ESPN's Jeff Passan first reported the firings.

The franchise split with both manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo on Sunday afternoon, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The move came shortly after the team's 6-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, which dropped them to 37-53 on the season. It also comes just a week before the MLB Draft.
