ANI Kilambi has been appointed as the new general manager of the Washington Nationals, transitioning from his role as assistant GM with the Philadelphia Phillies. At 31, he succeeds Mike Rizzo, who was dismissed after 15 years amid the team’s ongoing struggles, including a sixth consecutive losing season. President of baseball operations Paul Toboni, who recently took charge, aims to revamp the roster, with the Nationals already signing pitcher Foster Griffin. Kilambi’s hiring is part of a broader effort to rebuild the organization.
