"“I am incredibly honored to be named the manager of the Washington Nationals,”"
"“I'm excited to get to work alongside our players, coaches and staff to build something special - a team that is rooted in trust, connection and competitiveness,”"
Blake Butera, 33, finalized a deal to become manager of the Washington Nationals and was officially announced the next day. He becomes the youngest active manager in baseball and the first under 35 since the 1970s. Butera arrives after serving as the Tampa Bay Rays' senior director of player development and has never managed above Class A despite winning consistently at lower levels. The hiring accompanies a youth-focused overhaul of the roster and front office. Butera and his wife welcomed their first child on the same day the deal was being finalized. The hire emphasizes trust, connection, and competitiveness.
