"The 35-year-old will succeed Mike Rizzo, who was fired by the club earlier this season after a 17-year tenure leading the Nationals. Toboni currently serves as one of five assistant general managers for the Red Sox, initially earning a promotion to the role ahead of the 2024 season. Toboni has served in the Red Sox organization in various capacities since 2015, starting as an intern and steadily working his way up through the front office, primarily in scouting roles."
"Toboni was a baseball and basketball star at St. Ignatius High in San Francisco before crossing the Bay to join the Cal Bears baseball team. He was part of the same recruiting class as Marcus Semien and also played with Mark Canha. Hip injuries limited the infielder to barely two dozen games with the Bears. After graduation, Toboni attended Notre Dame to pursue an MBA, but his career trajectory changed after he did a summer internship with the A's."
"By age 30 Toboni had been promoted to director of amateur scouting, which saw him lead the drafts that landed many of the club's current young standouts, most notably Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer. Several more promotions followed, and he even interviewed for the Red Sox's chief baseball officer job that ultimately went to Breslow. Toboni was also believed to be among the candidates to serve as Red Sox general manager, serving as the No. 2 under Breslow."
Paul Toboni is set to become the Washington Nationals' head of baseball operations after rising through the Boston Red Sox front office. Toboni joined the Red Sox in 2015 as an intern and advanced through scouting roles to assistant general manager and director of amateur scouting. He led drafts that produced prospects such as Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer and interviewed for senior leadership roles including chief baseball officer. Toboni played baseball at St. Ignatius High and Cal, faced hip injuries, completed a Notre Dame MBA pursuit, and held internships with the A's and Red Sox. The Nationals enter his tenure coming off a disappointing season.
