0:00.0	And away we go, episode one thousand one hundred eighty-eight of the Al-Galdi podcast. It is Thursday, October 30th, 2025. It is the six-year
0:25.8	anniversary of the Washington Nationals winning the 2019 World Series. And we on Wednesday afternoon
0:32.4	had an update on the Nats managerial search. Interim manager Miguel Cairo is out. Nats insider Andrew Golden of
0:39.2	the Washington Post. He on Wednesday afternoon reported that Cairo has been told that he will not be
0:44.2	the Nats manager and that two guys who've drawn interest as possible candidates are former
0:48.5	Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Ball Deli and Los Angeles Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehman. Golden also reported that most of
0:56.2	this season's Nats coaching staff, including hitting coach Darnel Coles and pitching coach Jim Hickey,
1:01.6	have been informed that they will not return unless the next manager opts to keep them.
1:07.1	There has not been much reporting on this Nats managerial search. The previous reporting was that the Nats had interviewed three candidates, Cairo, Cleveland Guardians' associate manager, Craig Albernaz, who on Monday morning was announced as the Baltimore Orioles manager and former O's manager Brandon Hyde.

1:43.6	It is imperative that the Nads get better
1:45.8	coaching for their young players at the major league level. But yes, six years ago today,
1:51.6	the Nats won the World Series. Hello and welcome to this Thursday installment of the
1:56.3	Al-Galdi podcast. We had a good news slash bad news Wednesday for the Washington commanders. The good news.
2:03.6	Quarterback, Jaden Daniels, was a full participant in Wednesday afternoon's practice and is
2:08.4	tracking towards starting the team's game against the Seattle Seahawks at Northwest Stadium on Sunday night
2:13.4	football this Sunday night at 820. What would be a return from a one-game absence caused by a
2:18.2	right hamstring injury. So QB2, Marcus Marietta, thank you for your service, but JD5 is tracking
