Nationals add two analysts to front office

The Washington Nationals have added a pair of analysts to their front office. The Nats need the influx of talent, as their analyst group has been greatly diminished since their championship run in 2019. Carmen Ciardiello and Lee Przybylski are the latest new hires to join research and development, per Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post.

Earlier this winter, the Nats added former players Bill Mueller and Coco Crisp to their on-field player-development teams. They also added Jon Weil as a special assistant to help in the scouting department.

The Nationals have typically been content with a smaller-than-normal front-office group. These additions, however, amount to a refilling of the coffers more than an expansion. Dougherty covered the Nats’ front-office situation in a full piece last December.
