The Washington Nationals have taken another major step in their front office overhaul, hiring Devin Pearson, formerly the Red Sox’s director of amateur scouting, as an assistant general manager. This marks Paul Toboni’s first major hire since being named president of baseball operations. Pearson, 31, worked closely with Toboni in Boston, helping to oversee successful drafts that produced key prospects like Kyle Teel and Connelly Early. Their long-standing connection, dating back to their playing days at Cal, signals Toboni’s trust in Pearson to modernize the Nationals’ amateur scouting and player evaluation systems.
The move continues a sweeping transformation in Washington, as Toboni reshapes the Nationals’ baseball operations following the departures of several long-tenured executives. Pearson’s addition reinforces a data-driven, player-development-focused approach reminiscent of Boston’s model. For Nationals fans, this hire could foreshadow a sharper focus on college talent, revamped scouting processes, and a more cohesive draft strategy — all crucial steps in pushing the team’s rebuild forward in 2026 and beyond.
