Patrick Corbin has struggled since the first year of his 6-year/$140 million deal with DC, while he has a steady presence with the Washington Nationals every five days, but has been on the job for 11 years. The 34-year-old veteran told reporters: It is understandable why the club has decided to adopt a six-man rotation going forward so that the young starter’s workload can be managed in the final weeks of the 2023 season.

“[I] I understand that some of the young players here have come back from injuries, but perhaps they realize where we are in the season and where they are in their careers. “Maybe we’re trying,” Corbyn said.

“So, I completely understand. And I told them if I had an off day, I’d like them to slide me up, elevate me, and give them more time.” Whenever my name is called, I respond, and that’s all I can do.”

Corbin’s manager, Davey Martinez, has praised the southpaw’s willingness to do whatever is asked of him and do what is best for the ball club since signing in the winter of 2018 and helping the club win the championship. He said he was. world series in 2019.

“I’ve always said about Patrick, he’s always a professional no matter what he does for the team,” Martinez said days after Corbin’s comments to reporters.

“He’s been doing it. You can always go back.” [2019]added the director. “And what he did for us in the playoffs and World Series bullpen was unbelievable, but he was great.

“He’ll step up and do whatever it takes to make us better, to help us win. He’s just that kind of guy.”
