In his first public remarks as the Nationals’ interim head of baseball operations, Mike DeBartolo signaled a significant shift in organizational philosophy. While expressing gratitude to former GM Mike Rizzo and manager Davey Martinez, DeBartolo emphasized the need for real change — including integrating more data, technology, and innovation across scouting, player development, and medical evaluations. Though he's held key roles in the front office since 2012, DeBartolo framed himself as a reformer ready to modernize how the Nats operate at every level.
Despite the “interim” tag, DeBartolo will lead two major milestones this month: the MLB Draft, where the Nationals hold the first overall pick, and the trade deadline, which may involve tough calls on players like MacKenzie Gore. His bold tone contrasted with new interim manager Miguel Cairo, who paid tribute to Martinez and pledged continuity. Now, DeBartolo's performance in the coming weeks will serve as his live audition to turn a struggling franchise into a consistent contender — if ownership backs his vision with real investment.
