Washington is looking to hire a manager after dismissing Matt Williams and his coaching staff on Oct. 5. A week later, Knorr was rehired as a senior assistant to general manager Mike Rizzo.
No reason was given as to why Knorr will not be interviewing for the job as manager. Predicted to be a favorite to win the World Series this past season, the Nationals were a disappointment and finished second behind the National League champion Mets in the NL East race.
During a conference call with the local media on Oct. 5, Rizzo said he would consider Knorr for the managerial post.
