Bowden resigns as Nationals GM

Nationals GM Jim Bowden resigned Sunday after four-plus years on the job and zero winning seasons, saying he had become a distraction to the team. "Unless you are Manny Ramirez, there is no place for distraction in baseball," Bowden said during an emotional press conference. "I want to be able to turn the page and I want this franchise to be able to have everybody, from the media to the fans, focus on what this game is about. It's about players. It's about what happens on the field."
