Danny Haas, 47, was hired as the VP of Amateur Scouting (aka the Scouting Director) by the Nationals back in early October, as part of Washington’s front office shake-up, after serving as a special assignment scout for Arizona’s D-backs from 2019-2023.
Haas worked as a national crosschecker with Baltimore’s Orioles (2012-2014), before the O’s promoted the one-time Boston Red Sox’ prospect, who’d wrapped up his playing days back in 2001, and then quickly transitioned to scouting, to a role as a, “special assistant to the executive vice president of baseball operations (2015-18).
