The Washington Nationals interviewed Boston Red Sox assistant general manager Eddie Romero as part of their search for a top front-office executive to replace Mike Rizzo, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Brittany Ghiroli. Washington has also spoken with Paul Toboni, another Red Sox assistant GM, but Toboni could reportedly earn an internal promotion to GM while working under chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. Romero first joined Boston in 2006 as an assistant in the scouting department. Outside candidates include Arizona Diamondbacks assistant GM Amiel Sawdaye, Los Angeles Dodgers senior vice president Josh Byrnes and Cleveland Guardians assistant GM Matt Forman. The Nationals cleaned house this past July, firing both Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez.
