Riggleman resigns from Nats

Team has won 11 out of last 12. Rather unusual timing, but guess he is trying to use this to get someone to pick up his option and/or get a new contract.

Jim Riggleman resigns as Washington Nationals manager after win - ESPN

Managers contracts are different than players, they don't go with them from team to team. When a manager quits or gets fired they sign a new contract with a new team, when a player gets traded their contract goes with them.
