Washington Nationals Name Paul Toboni President of Baseball Operations | Talk Nats Podcast
Description
The newest Talk Nats Podcast covers one of the biggest organizational shifts in recent Nationals history: the hiring of Paul Toboni as the team’s president of baseball operations. At just 35 years old and with a background in scouting and analytics from the Red Sox system, Toboni laid out his vision to transform Washington into a “scouting and player development monster.” Host Dan Holmi breaks down what Toboni said at his introductory press conference, how he plans to tackle a roster that finished 66–96 with a –212 run differential, and why his process-first approach matters.
We also explore the critical role of ownership. The Lerners must decide if they’ll truly empower Toboni with resources or repeat the pattern of shrinking payrolls that has plagued the team since 2021. Finally, we dive into the roster reality check: James Wood’s breakout, CJ Abrams’ development, and the glaring need for veteran pitching and bullpen help. This episode is a must-listen for fans looking to understand the Nationals’ future path, the challenges ahead, and how Washington can build back into a contender.
