Jeremy Sandler of the National Post in Toronto also shoots down the rumors, but offers this tidbit:

LaCava is a long-time scout who has connections to the Nationals front office. He worked under Washington president Stan Kasten when he ran the dominant Atlanta Braves teams of the 1990s. Though not under the direct control of Kasten as a national cross-checker, LaCava worked closely with his good friend and former Braves assistant general manager Dayton Moore.

Moore, the current GM in Kansas City, would be someone Kasten could speak with in broad terms about possible candidates to replace Bowden.
