The Washington Nationals are in the middle of a massive set of internal changes. After a very long run of ups and downs under Mike Rizzo and Dave Martinez as the previous braintrust in charge of the organization, the club is getting a bit of a facelift.
Martinez and Rizzo were fired back in July due to the team's struggles that have exceeded half of a decade now, and new leadership at multiple positions has begun to be ushered in to lead the organization forward. Paul Toboni is replacing Rizzo as the President of Baseball Operations, and Blake Butera is taking over as manager for Martinez, but more recently interim manager Miguel Cairo.
