    The Rooster returns with fiery reaction and analysis following the Nationals’ major front office shake-up, the firings of GM Mike Rizzo and manager Davey Martinez. Chris Russell digs into the decision, citing ownership constraints under the Lerners, glaring roster holes, and lack of progress, while raising the question: were Rizzo and Martinez doomed from the start, or was change overdue? Insight from former MLB GM Jim Duquette suggests Rizzo may have been ousted for refusing to fire Martinez, with additional insights by ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Meanwhile, the show turns to the Commanders’ stadium plans and President Trump’s comments, exploring how his involvement might influence the team’s name debate. Plus, Angel Reese’s heated exchange with an assistant coach sparks discussion on her growing reputation both on and off the court.

    The Rooster keeps the Nationals conversation going as the fallout from the firings of Mike Rizzo and Davey Martinez intensifies. This hour features insight from former MLB GM and current analyst Jim Duquette, who raises a compelling possibility: was Rizzo let go because he refused to fire Martinez himself? Chris Russell explores that theory, adds reaction from ESPN’s Jeff Passan, and invites the audience to weigh in on what really went down behind closed doors.
