Werth is over 10 million
Jim's was 650K
The hell with them.... cheap is the way I read it.
I think he may have another job lined up..
Some people may not know who I am talking about. All over TV...Net.. hahaha
I think everyone is being a little hard on riggleman. Based on everything the GM said, they weren't gonna pick up his contract anyways, might as well step down now then wait til your team finishes above .500 and you get let go in the offseason because you're not the answer going forward.
It was clearly one of those I wanna talk about my future as the nats manager, and the GM didnt wanna, so riggleman said if i'm not the guy going forward i'll leave before it gets good.
Being a quitter will not look good on his resume.
This is the guy that got fired by the Cubs, of all teams, and then quits the Nats.
He won't be getting a coaching gig quite some time, IMO.
