"The Washington Nationals and their new front office regime have been busy so far this offseason. As I have said before, there is honestly probably not another organization in baseball that had more to do this winter than the Nationals, who almost had to reset their franchise from ground zero in order to make forward progress. This was because of the complacency and misuse led by the previous front office under Mike Rizzo, and now the Nationals are paying the price for it."
"While it may not directly reflect in terms of free agent signings, whether it's making trades or hiring entirely new coaching and managerial staffs both at the big leagues and each level of the minor leagues, Toboni has had a ton on his plate. However, it might be the move he has not yet made that is capturing the majority of the headlines at this point."
Paul Toboni's new front office has undertaken an extensive reset of the Washington Nationals after failures under Mike Rizzo. Leadership changes, trades, and new coaching and managerial hires at both major and minor league levels are being pursued to reposition the club. All-Star lefty MacKenzie Gore has been linked to trade rumors since last summer but remains on the roster and is expected to be with the Nationals for Opening Day 2026. Several potential suitors, including the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees, pursued alternate left-handed starters — Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers respectively rather than surrendering top prospects.
