Nationals Begin Front-Office Overhaul With Ouster of Two Assistant GMs

New baseball operations chief Paul Toboni is remaking Washington’s scouting-to-development pipeline to correct longstanding shortcomings.

Overview

  • Assistant general managers Eddie Longosz and Mark Scialabba have been told they will not return next season after long tenures overseeing player development.
  • The Athletic reports that several scouts and members of the organization’s Florida staff are also exiting as part of the shakeup.
  • Mike DeBartolo, who served as interim general manager after Mike Rizzo’s July dismissal, will remain with the club as Toboni reshapes the department.
  • Earlier departures of scouting leaders Danny Haas and Brad Ciolek preceded these moves, signaling a broader replacement of Rizzo-era infrastructure.
  • Coverage describes the changes as sweeping, with one scout calling the expected turnover a “blood bath,” and multiple reports indicate further staff decisions are forthcoming.
