WASHINGTON – De Jon Watson was about 16 years removed from his days as a minor league player in the Kansas City system when he interviewed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2004.
Among those that interviewed him was Logan White, a former college pitcher in New Mexico and in the minors and a one-time area scout for the Baltimore Orioles.
Watson got the job and was with the Dodgers as an assistant general manager in player development from 2005 to 2014.
As part of the Washington Nationals’ organization since 2017, Watson will be the new farm director of the Nationals, the Athletic reported on Monday.
