Nationals Hire Bud Black As Manager

Nice hire. Infinitely better than Dusty.

Nationals To Name Bud Black Manager

By Steve Adams | October 28, 2015 at 8:20pm CDT
The Nationals will hire former Padres skipper Bud Black as their next manager, reports James Wagner of the Washington Post. The team has yet to confirm the move or make an official announcement, as Major League Baseball frowns upon teams announcing major news on the days that World Series games take place. Black was said to be one of two finalists, with former Giants/Cubs/Reds manager Dusty Baker the other reported name under consideration.

Especially if the other name on that short list is Baker.

Hopefully a change of scenery and a talented team can bring Bud some well deserved wins.

I thought for sure they would have gone after Donnie.

Mattingly was not a popular option for local DC area fans.

Why? As an east coast player that was very popular at his prime I figure he would have fit in.

from what i recall reading, they did not like how he managed the Dodgers. And i agree, i would not have wanted Mattingly. I have made a few comments calling him the west coast Matt Williams.

I really like the outlook for the Nats in 2016 now. Good luck to Bud Black. I hope he's a great success.

Nice hiring by the Nats. 3 new managers in the NL East in last 2 months. Collins job should be safe.
