Fired Nationals GM Mike Rizzo wants to buy a thank-you round for fans in DC before Home Run Derby
WASHINGTON — Fired Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo wants to buy a round for fans at two sports bars in Washington before Monday's All-Star Home Run Derby. Rizzo posted on social media Friday an extended thank you to fans, which included an offer to buy a 'Round on Riz' over a couple of hours before the Home Run Derby in Atlanta.

The moves came with the Nats holding the No. 1 pick in this weekend's amateur draft. Mike DeBartolo was named interim GM. Rizzo, 64, had been general manager since 2009 and added the title of president of baseball operations four years later. 'From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every fan who has supported my goal to lead this franchise to greatness with integrity, honesty and professionalism,' Rizzo wrote.
