"From top prospects Travis Sykora and Jarlin Susana, who both underwent surgical operations, to 2024 1st-rounder Seaver King looking lost at the plate at times among others, the organization has a ton of room for improvement. The new President of Baseball Operations for the Nationals, Paul Toboni, certainly has a ton of work to do, and his next major decision is who is going to manage his club next season."
"Craig Albernaz, the Guardians' bench coach who had become a highly-touted name in managerial talks as an up-and-comer, has accepted the job to become the next manager of the Baltimore Orioles. So how is this relevant to the Nationals? Well, it had been reported over the weekend that Albernaz had interviewed for the opening with the Nationals, but obviously he has chosen to go in another direction."
The Washington Nationals experienced a broadly unsuccessful 2025 season marked by injuries and underperforming prospects. Top prospects Travis Sykora and Jarlin Susana underwent surgical operations, while 2024 first-rounder Seaver King struggled at the plate. The organization faces significant room for improvement across development and health management. New President of Baseball Operations Paul Toboni inherits substantial work, including a key managerial hire. Craig Albernaz interviewed for the opening but accepted the Baltimore Orioles' managerial job. Albernaz is a young, well-respected coach known for building genuine relationships with young players and contributing to winning organizations.
