Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo signed a five-year contract extension through 2015 and was promoted to executive vice president of baseball operations on Tuesday. The promotion gives Rizzo more control over the team and a direct line to Washington's ownership. "I do believe that, with the new responsibility, the new title and, really, the new job description, it will be my baby, and my fingerprints will be all over the organization, even more so than they are already," Rizzo said.
