Rizzo dismissed concerns that he didn't communicate well with Riggleman, saying he felt his communication with his manager was one of the most vibrant in the entire league. He also dismissed the idea that Riggleman could not manage without knowing his future, saying he's been on one-year contracts his entire life. Ultimately, Rizzo said he concluded that giving him an extension was not something he was willing to do right now.
"I didn't feel that June 23rd was the appropriate time to determine if he was going to lead us into the future," he said.
