“I’ve always believed that you win with people, and from our very first conversation, it was clear that Blake [Butera] is the right person, and the right leader for this role,” said Toboni.
“Blake comes into this position with experience in a variety of roles in player development, including as a successful manager, making him uniquely qualified to get the most out of the players in the clubhouse and help us reach the next level. He possesses a strong baseball acumen and has a reputation for building strong relationships with players and staff, making him a great fit for us in Washington, D.C. We’re so excited to welcome him to the Nationals family.”
