Nationals interim manager to get legitimate consideration for full-time role in 2026
"The future of the Washington Nationals under their new leader, Paul Toboni, is already looking a whole lot different than anyone had likely even anticipated. After being a bottom-feeder club for the majority of the last 6 seasons since winning the World Series in 2019, massive change has already begun. We knew that things would be different under Toboni, as the Nationals had struggled mightily to adapt to modern trends around the league, but with change comes a lot of difficult conversations."
"Toboni said today that interim manager Miguel Cairo was told by himself that he would be a candidate within the team's extensive search for a new manager, according to Andrew Golden from the Washington Post. Before today, we had almost no idea where the Nationals were in terms of their search to find a new skipper, and these are Toboni's first public comments about who he will tab as his first manager. Toboni also added that he hopes the search for a new skipper will kick off "soon," as we all know he has his hands full with rebuilding his front office after a lot of tough conversations this week."
Paul Toboni has begun sweeping changes within the Washington Nationals organization after six losing seasons since the 2019 World Series. The front office is undergoing a near-complete rebuild with minimal holdovers from the Mike Rizzo era and many longtime employees dismissed. Toboni confirmed that interim manager Miguel Cairo was informed he will be considered as a candidate in the team's manager search. Toboni hopes the search will begin soon while he focuses on reconstructing the front office. It remains unclear who else will be interviewed, but Cairo is expected to receive an opportunity to prove himself for the full-time role. The organization appears committed to modernizing operations and aligning leadership choices with Toboni's new direction.
