The Nationals have fired special assistant General Manager Jose Rijo today following the events and revelations stemming from Esmailyngate.
Rijo had been asked by Nationals officials to leave the teams training camp in Vierra, Florida earlier this week. However as the scandal has escalated past just the age-changing of Esmailyn Gonzalez and turned into what is now a full out investigation on the Nationals scouting and player development program, someone had to bite the dust.
As a result, the Nats will now close down their academy in the Dominican which had been operated out of Rijo's own baseball complex.
Heads are rolling, is Bowden next?
