Nationals Managerial Search Heats Up: Hyde, Albernaz, and Cairo in the Mix

Washington D.C. – The Washington Nationals’ search for a new manager is underway, with several candidates emerging as potential replacements. According to sources, Brandon Hyde, former manager of the Baltimore Orioles, has already interviewed for the position. Hyde, who was recently let go by the Orioles after a disappointing start to the 2025 season, led Baltimore to three consecutive winning seasons and playoff appearances in 2023 and 2024.

The Nationals have also reportedly interviewed Craig Albernaz, currently the associate manager for the Cleveland Guardians. Albernaz has been a candidate for other managerial vacancies in recent years and is highly regarded within the Guardians organization.

While interim manager Miguel Cairo hasn’t been formally ruled out, it appears new President of Baseball Operations Paul Toboni is looking to bring in his own choice for the job as he reshapes the front office.

The new manager will inherit a team looking to rebuild and improve their performance. The Nationals made Justin Horowitz their assistant general manager on Friday afternoon. With the search well underway, an announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
