Eli Willits' & Paul Toboni: Why The Washington Nationals Would Have Still Picked Willits' 1st Overall

10/31/2025
*EPISODE RECORDED BEFORE HIRING BLAKE BUTERA.... CURRENTLY AT THE DENTIST* Ryan Clary examines whether new GM Paul Toboni would have selected Eli Willits first overall in the 2025 MLB Draft. He breaks down Willits' defensive prowess, switch-hitting ability, and development potential, arguing the pick aligns with Toboni's scouting philosophy favoring high-ceiling high school shortstops. The episode explores critical Rule 5 Draft decisions facing the Nationals, particularly protecting left-handed pitcher Jake Bennett, who's dominating the Arizona Fall League after Tommy John recovery. Clary also discusses outfield prospect Christian Franklin's uncertain roster status and the surprising managerial interview with Portland Sea Dogs' Chad Epperson, suggesting it reflects Toboni's character-driven approach to building the organization. 1:40 Why Eli Willits was the right pick 4:12 Paul Toboni's drafting philosophy and player types 7:15 Eli Willits' power potential and development upside 10:21 How Toboni will handle Willits' development path 12:54 Jake Bennett must be protected from Rule 5 16:29 Bennett's dominance in Arizona Fall League 19:01 Christian Franklin's Rule 5 eligibility dilemma 23:07 Nationals interview Double A manager Chad Epperson 25:39 Outside the box approach to managerial search Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

BREAKING: The Washington Nationals Make A SPLASH Hiring 33-Year Old Blake Butera As The Next Manager

10/30/2025
The Washington Nationals make a bold, unconventional move by hiring 33-year-old Blake Butera as their next manager—the youngest MLB skipper in over 50 years. Butera comes from Tampa Bay's player development system, where he compiled a 258-144 record as a Double-A manager while serving as senior director of minor league player development. Host Ryan Clary breaks down why this stunning hire makes perfect sense for a rebuilding franchise prioritizing analytics, coaching, and cultural transformation. The move signals ownership's commitment to modernizing the organization, pairing Butera with President Paul Toboni to create alignment between front office and dugout. Clary explores the risks and rewards of skipping traditional steps, emphasizing Butera's fluency in advanced metrics and proven ability to develop young talent—exactly what Washington's emerging core needs as they build toward contention. 0:00 Intro 0:30 Nationals hire 33-year-old Blake Butera as manager 2:02 Why this surprising hire wasn't on anyone's radar 4:04 Youngest MLB manager in over 50 years 6:39 Butera's player development background with Tampa Bay 9:12 Why this hire works for the Nationals' rebuild 12:16 Butera's impressive minor league managerial record 15:20 Taboni and Butera share similar analytical backgrounds 18:24 Addressing coaching mistakes from the Martinez era 21:27 Nationals need experienced bench coach to support Butera 24:31 Brandon Hyde as potential bench coach candidate 26:02 Skipping steps to get future star manager now Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Coaching Overhaul in D.C: Why The Washington Nationals Are Cleaning House And What Could Come NEXT?

10/30/2025
Ryan Clary breaks down the Washington Nationals' managerial search as Miguel Cairo exits the running and the coaching staff faces a complete overhaul. With hitting coach Darnell Coles and pitching coach Jim Hickey likely departing, the organization signals a fresh start under Paul Taboni's leadership. The episode explores two intriguing candidates: Rocco Baldelli, the former Twins manager who won 101 games in his debut season, and Danny Lehmann, the Dodgers' bench coach fresh off a World Series run. Clary offers a nuanced defense of Brandon Hyde, still in contention despite fan skepticism, arguing his experience navigating Baltimore's rebuild mirrors Washington's current trajectory. The discussion challenges easy narratives about coaching failures while examining what truly drives player development and organizational culture during a rebuild. 0:07 Miguel Cairo Out of Managerial Search 1:39 Coaching Staff Changes: Coles and Hickey 4:43 Were Coaches Really the Problem? 7:47 Sean Doolittle's Uncertain Future with Team 11:53 Nationals Show Interest in Baldelli and Layman 16:31 Danny Lehmann: Rising Star from Dodgers 21:38 Brandon Hyde: Underrated Managerial Candidate 25:44 Hyde's Rebuild Experience with the Orioles Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Keibert Ruiz's Future: Why The Washington Nationals MUST Move On from Their Struggling Catcher

10/29/2025
Ryan Clary tackles the Washington Nationals' biggest offseason dilemma: what to do with underperforming catcher Keibert Ruiz. Despite being under contract through 2030, Ruiz's defensive struggles and offensive regression make him a liability worth cutting loose. Clary argues the $40 million remaining shouldn't hold the team back from upgrading. He also makes a compelling case for Nasim Nunez as Paul Toboni's biggest beneficiary—a defensively elite shortstop with 30-steal potential who could be the Nationals' hidden gem. The episode wraps with a spirited takedown of Bryce Harper's recent comments about trade speculation during his Nationals tenure, with Clary calling out the inaccuracy of Harper's claims and reminding everyone who actually won a championship. 0:00 Intro 0:35 Bryce Harper is annoying 2:06 Keibert Ruiz's biggest offseason question 4:07 Ruiz's defensive struggles and regression 7:12 The contract isn't sinking the team 10:17 Ruiz's bad metrics across the board 13:22 Nasim Nunez could benefit the most from Toboni 16:27 Nunez's elite defense and base running 19:31 Nunez as the Ha-Seong Kim alternative 22:36 Bryce Harper's false trade talk claims Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
