Nationals fire manager Matt Williams
The Washington Nationals have fired manager Matt Williams, according to James Wagner of the Washington Post.
Williams finishes out his second season with the Nationals with a record of 83-79, missing out on the playoffs by seven games.
The next manager will inherit a team with a cabinet that is far from bare. The Nationals finished ninth in our power rankings with a 0.44 nERD. They dealt with injuries the whole year, but the pitching staff had the fifth best xFIP while the offense was 14th in wRC+. The team could be primed for a nice bounce-back in 2016 despite the disappointment of 2015.
