The Washington Nationals will name New York Mets bench coach Manny Acta as their next manager at a news conference during this week's general managers' meetings in Naples, Fla., several sources told ESPNdeportes.com.

 

Acta did not return phone calls, nor did Nationals general manager Jim Bowden. Club president Stan Kasten didn't immediately respond to an e-mail message.

 

Acta would replace Frank Robinson, for whom he worked as a third-base coach from 2002-04, when the franchise was in Montreal. The team moved to Washington before the 2005 season.

Ok this is completely irrelevant, given I don't know this guy at all, but I hear his name, I think of Jon Lovitz for some reason..."I'm an acta!!" Just had to share. Carry on.
