The Nationals “are hiring” Anirudh Kilambi as their GM, according to sources cited by the WASHINGTON POST. The move gives President of Baseball Operations Paul Toboni a “second-in-command.” Kilambi arrives from the Phillies, with whom he spent four years as assistant GM “overseeing the analytics department.” Kilambi, 31, “fits the Venn diagram that the club has targeted this offseason,” being young, coming from a “competitive organization” and being “data-oriented” (WASHINGTON POST, 12/17).
