Coming your way tomorrow morning:
Our exclusive interview w/ Paul Toboni, #Nats President of Baseball Operations.
Plenty of topics discussed, leading off of course w/ the MacKenzie Gore trade.
Longtime Rangers writer @evanpgrant.bsky.social vangrant.bsky.social with the Gore trade return: SS Evan Fien (Texas' No. 2 prospect), RHP Alejandro Rosario (No. 6), INF Devin Fitz-Gerald (No. 12), 1B Abimelec Ortiz (No. 18), plus one more prospect.
Nationals have traded MacKenzie Gore to the Rangers, source confirms. Five prospects, including SS Gavin Fien (2025 1st round pick) coming to Nats in deal for lefty, who has two years of club control left. (@jonheyman.bsky.social was first to report)
Our immediate reaction to the news that Nats games will be moving over to "Nationals.TV" and will no longer air on MASN:
www.natschatpodcast.com/episode-post...
Emergency episode will be out tomorrow morning on all the usual podcast platforms. #Nats #Nationals
In the meantime, I'm still doing the @natschatpodcast.bsky.social podcast with Al Galdi and Tim Shovers (they're recording a new episode today). And when the dust settles, my intention/hope is to continue covering the Nationals in one form or another this year and for many years to come!
Wanted to provide clarity re: MASN contract. The Nationals’ contract with MASN expires at the end of February, both the Nats/O’s confirm to @chelseajanes.bsky.social and me.
None of this is to say the Nats won’t opt to go in a different direction with their TV rights. But still with MASN.

Our immediate reaction to the reported hiring of Blake Butera as the next #Nats Manager:
www.natschatpodcast.com/episode-post...
The Nationals are working on a deal to name Blake Butera their next manager, source confirms. 33-year-old was Rays' senior director of player development after 4 seasons managing A-ball for them. Would be MLB's youngest manager since 1972. (ESPN's Jeff Passan was first to report.)
Initial story on the Nationals' plan to hire 33-year-old Blake Butera, who never played or coached above low-A ball but held a prominent role overseeing the Rays' lauded farm system, as MLB's youngest manager since 1972. www.masnsports.com/blog/entry/n...
