Manny Acta told ESPNDeportes on Sunday night that he's been fired as Nationals manager.
It was destined to happen at some point. "I thank the Nationals for giving me this opportunity and I'm sorry that things didn't work out as expected. It's normal for the manager to pay the price when the team is not doing well," Acta said. Jim Riggelman is likely to replace him at the helm.
