Nationals Interim Manager Miguel Cairo Will Not Get the Permanent Job, AP Source Says
The Nationals ended a 66-96 season and six straight losing years by removing interim manager Miguel Cairo and his entire coaching staff following a leadership overhaul.
- On Wednesday, Washington Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo will not be retained, and members of his coaching staff are being let go, a person with knowledge told The Associated Press.
- Less than a month after Paul Toboni's hiring on Oct. 1, the Nationals began leadership changes following the July firings of Mike Rizzo and Dave Martinez, with Miguel Cairo replacing Martinez as interim.
- Coaching departures name Jim Hickey, Darnell Coles, Ricky Bones, Gerardo Parra and Ricky Gutierrez; Parra is noted for his `Baby Shark` fame, Hickey joined in 2021, and Coles started the following year.
- The overhaul responds to six consecutive losing seasons and a weak 2025 record, with Mark Lerner saying on Oct. 1, `We’re not happy where we are right now` and Toboni wanting to speak with Cairo before plans.
- The Washington Post first reported the departures, citing anonymous sources, and an unnamed person with knowledge confirmed the overhaul less than a month after Paul Toboni's Oct. 1 hiring.
