Nats make scouting changes
The Nationals informed five members of their amateur scouting department this week that their contracts will not be renewed, according to three people familiar with the matter. Alex Morales, James Goodwin, Kevin Ham, John Malzone and Bobby Myrick won’t return. The expectation is that these roles will be filled, not cut.
Late last year, the Nationals revamped their amateur scouting department after longtime scouting director Kris Kline was
shifted into a new role. Danny Haas
was hired as the vice president of amateur scouting, with
Brad Ciolek and Reed Dunn joining as the senior director of amateur scouting and national crosschecker of amateur scouting. The trio brought new voices to Washington’s draft room. Now, with one MLB draft under their belt, they will look to add some fresh eyes, too.
