Nationals hire Martinez

DAVE Martinez has earned his first Major League Baseball manager assignment after the Chicago Cubs bench coach was hired by the Washington Nationals on Monday, the team announced. The 53-year-old Martinez agreed to a three-year contract, becoming the seventh manager in Nationals history since the club moved from Montreal before the 2005 season. Martinez was considered the front-runner to replace Dusty Baker, who was fired as the Nationals manager last week after two seasons. Martinez joins the Nationals for what will be his 30th season in American pro baseball. A 16-year major league outfielder, Martinez has been a coach for the last 10 seasons. Martinez was a .276 career hitter while playing for nine different teams.
