"To his credit, he has done a masterful job so far in his brief tenure, as he has outfitted his front office staff well, bringing in a ton of young and up-and-coming minds around the league to work around him, and also has hired an entirely new coaching staff. However, after making a few minor league transactions and swinging a massive trade to get a new catcher, Toboni's busiest days of the offseason might still be ahead of him."
"As of right now, the 2026 Winter Meetings are taking place in Orlando, and the Nationals continue to find themselves at the center of a lot of rumors for being a last place team in 2025. Part of that is due to MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams, two young All-Stars and large pieces in the return for Juan Soto a few years back, could potentially be had in a trade...what?"
Paul Toboni has reshaped the Nationals' front office and coaching staff, hiring many young, up-and-coming executives and an entirely new coaching group. He completed minor league moves and a major trade for a catcher while keeping other offseason decisions pending. The Nationals are receiving trade interest at the 2026 Winter Meetings, with MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams mentioned as potential trade pieces. Toboni described listening on both players as something the club would be 'negligent' not to do and repeated that the organization remains 'open-minded' while setting a high bar for any move. Abrams retains three years of team control and may not remain at shortstop, though new coaching could unlock further potential.
