AP sources: Nationals give Mike Rizzo GM job

By on August 19th, 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two people in Major League Baseball familiar with the Washington Nationals’ plans say that assistant general manager Mike Rizzo is getting the team’s GM job.

The pair confirmed Rizzo’s promotion to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement is planned for Thursday.

Rizzo has been acting as Washington’s GM this season. Jim Bowden resigned from the position on March 1.

The news is part of a big week for the Nationals. It comes less than 48 hours after Rizzo concluded negotiations on a record $15.1 million contract with No. 1 overall draft pick Stephen Strasburg. The right-hander from San Diego State will be introduced to fans at a pregame news conference on the field before Washington’s game Friday night.
