WASHINGTON (AP) — Paul Toboni punctuated many of his sentences by tacking on “Right?” during his introductory news conference as the new president of baseball operations for the Washington Nationals, which had the effect of sounding as though he wanted to add emphasis while also seeking consensus Wednesday.
