12:21PM: DeBartolo will be staying on in Washington\u2019s front office, Ghiroli reports<\/a> in a follow-up.<\/p>\n

12:19PM: Assistant general managers Eddie Longosz and Mark Scialabba won\u2019t be returning to the Nationals in 2026, The Athletic\u2019s Britt Ghiroli<\/a> reports.\u00a0 These departures are two of what seems to be multiple changes made under new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni, as Ghiroli writes that \u201cseveral scouts and members of the team\u2019s staff in Florida\u201d are also on the way out.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t surprising that Toboni\u2019s hiring has triggered a staff overhaul, as some prominent names left the organization even before Toboni was hired two weeks ago.\u00a0 Since the start of September, former scouting director Danny Haas and senior director of amateur scouting Brad Ciolek each left the Nats for jobs with the Orioles and Tigers, respectively.\u00a0 It is fair to wonder exactly how many members of Mike Rizzo\u2019s front office will continue on with the Nationals under Toboni \u2014 most prominently, assistant GM and former interim GM Mike DeBartolo\u2019s role with the team remains unclear.<\/p>\n

Rizzo himself shook up the front office and player development staffs a few years ago, but Longosz and Scialabba were two of the longtime Washington staffers who stayed put.\u00a0 Longosz started with the Nats in 2010 and worked as the club\u2019s director of scouting operations for the eight seasons prior to his elevation to the AGM and vice-president role in 2023.\u00a0 Specifically, Longosz was the assistant general manager of player development and administration.<\/p>\n

Scialabba\u2019s ties to the organization stretch back even longer, as he first joined the team in 2006.\u00a0 Working as the Nationals\u2019 director of minor league operations from 2009-13, Scialabba took over the player development department in 2013 before becoming the assistant GM of player development following the 2019 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"12:21PM: DeBartolo will be staying on in Washington\u2019s front office, Ghiroli reports in a follow-up. 12:19PM: Assistant general…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[7838,99],"class_list":["post-209883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-mike-debartolo","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
