Ryan Clary, host of Locked On Nationals, dives into the team's managerial search, focusing on former Orioles manager Brandon Hyde as a top candidate as he was just interviewed for the job. Clary analyzes Hyde's track record in rebuilding the Orioles and his player-friendly approach. The podcast explores the Nationals' apparent preference for analytically-minded managers, as evidenced by their interest in Craig Albernaz. Clary also discusses the team's recent front office moves, including hiring Justin Horowitz as assistant GM from the Pittsburgh Pirates. He highlights Horowitz's success in amateur scouting and draft picks, viewing it as a positive step towards improving the Nationals' player development system and building a competitive farm system.
