The Washington Nationals and Vice President Bob Boone are parting ways over the team's vaccine mandate for all full time-staff, the Washington Post reported.

Driving the news: The Nats informed staff of the vaccine mandate on Aug. 14. Employees had until Aug. 26 to provide either proof of full vaccination or one dose of the vaccine or apply for an exemption, per the Post.

Employees who have not gotten vaccinated are now on unpaid administrative leave and have until Sept. 15 to comply or "have their contracts terminated," the Post reported.
The big picture: Boone has been with the team since 2005 and is a senior advisor to general manager Mike Rizzo, per ESPN.

The Nationals also told eight of its scouts Wednesday that they will not be with the team next season. Two of the departures were a result of the new vaccine policy, The Athletic reported.
Other teams have also implemented vaccine mandates for non-playing staff, including the Houston Astros. The Baltimore Orioles told staff Monday that all full-time and part-time year-round employees must be fully vaccinated by Oct. 31.

4. The next time we see the name Bob Boone, it will say -

"Bob Boone hospitalized with Covid"
or
"Bob Boone on ventilator".

I won't go further than that.
I don't wish him ill.
But we've read the follow-up story so many times already...

10. One Fewer Idiot Taking A Big Paycheck

He obviously doesn't need the money, so why wouldn't they hire someone who appreciates the gig enough to do the right thing.
Boone is a moron!
