Washington Nationals news & notes: Danny Haas on meeting Mike Rizzo; taking over as scouting director in D.C.

Danny Haas, 47, was hired as the VP of Amateur Scouting (aka the Scouting Director) by the Nationals back in early October, as part of Washington’s front office shake-up, after serving as a special assignment scout for Arizona’s D-backs from 2019-2023.

Haas worked as a national crosschecker with Baltimore’s Orioles (2012-2014), before the O’s promoted the one-time Boston Red Sox’ prospect, who’d wrapped up his playing days back in 2001, and then quickly transitioned to scouting, to a role as a, “special assistant to the executive vice president of baseball operations (2015-18).
