Riggleman resigns

Nationals manager Jim Riggleman has resigned, his agent said.

Something must be going on unless he decided .500 best they will do and leave on top. Lol

I am seeing it's a result of his option not being picked up yet for next year and not being happy with his current compensation

Still very weird

Apparently he told GM this morning if his option wasn't picked up by the afternoon, he was quitting, and when it wasn't, he did

At least that would make a little sense. Why wouldn't they extend the guy? He's doing a great job

I agree, it appears he wasn't asking for an extension, just to have the option year picked up

Will be interesting if the players will back him or think he is quitting on them. Could go either way

Yeah actually was just thinking this - he deserved an extension but to quit on them is kind of weak

I was, and me and Riggs had a sit down with management. Were not happy with things and walked out. Quit, now having a beer. He seems at peace or really drunk

Nats should have picked up his option....that being said, I don't like him quitting on the team.

Pussy-move. I understand that he wanted his option year picked up, but quitting on his team midseason for that shows little dedication and heart.
