Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Bobby Valentine is a finalist to manage the Nationals.

Interim manager Jim Riggleman, who led the Nationals to a 33-42 record, is the other finalist. Hiring Valentine would be quite the splash, although his salary demands would be considerably higher than Riggleman. According to general manager Mike Rizzo, the Nationals are expected to make a decision by the end of the week.
