## Resource

Blake Butera, the Nationals’ youngest MLB manager since 1972, returns to Tampa this weekend — the city where he spent 11 years with the Rays — as a new skipper ready to focus solely on winning. Though he’s brought Tampa’s playbook, including the “opener” strategy, and his bench coach Michael Johns, a former Rays staffer, his mission is clear: turn the Nationals’ season around. With a 39-36 record and a first-time .500+ streak since 2019, Butera’s leadership is already making waves — and he’s not looking back.
