About this listen
Washington Nationals shift gears for an analytics-driven future under GM Ani Kilambi and player development expert Paul Toboni. Can smart data and revamped systems position the Nats among MLB’s best? Ryan Clary explores bold front office moves, renewed confidence in Washington’s direction, and what setting the analytical standard means for fans eager for a return to October baseball. Key discussions spotlight why trading MacKenzie Gore could accelerate the Nationals’ rebuild, maximizing value before contract concerns and a potential 2027 lockout. Meanwhile, should Washington hold onto rising star CJ Abrams, whose power-speed combination could anchor the lineup for years? Ryan Clary breaks down the pros and cons of blockbuster trades, the importance of player development, and whether commitment to analytics will be matched by spending when free agency rolls around.
