It was announced today that Mike Rizzo will take control of the day-to-day operations of the Washington Nationals after the resignation of Jim Bowden. While Stan Kasten had announced earlier that he would be in charge until a replacement general manager could be found, he took a step back today by putting Rizzo in the lead spot as interim GM.
Kasten assured that he will maintain final say on all baseball decisions.
"We've had enough instability in the last couple of weeks. I like stability. I don't like interim titles, by nature, because they suggest instability. So I'd rather just keep things in place while we proceed-especially since we have our functions down pretty well."
Mike Rizzo had been an assistant GM and vice president of baseball operations for the Nationals since he came over from the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2006.
