That decision actually did not come with anything related to"
"However, the decision the Nationals made as the successor to Bob Carpenter was to promote long time sideline reporter Dan Kolko, who has become a staple of the gameday experience for Nationals fans everywhere.

The organization also announced a move away from the MASN sports network. Kolko has covered the Nationals since 2012 and developed chemistry with color commentator Kevin Frandsen, who will return for 2026. Fan reactions to Kolko's play-by-play are mixed, but the team values his presence and him being the first reporter players speak with after victories. Kolko had been the natural successor as Carpenter reduced his schedule.
