MikeT14 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/04/11/washington-nationals-lerners-potential-sale/ Quote Mark D. Lerner, Ted Lerner’s son who now serves as the club’s managing principal owner, told The Washington Post in a statement that the family has hired New York investment bank Allen & Company to research potential investors, and possibly buyers, for the Nationals. “This is an exploratory process, so there is no set timetable or expectation of a specific outcome,” Mark Lerner said in the statement. “The organization is as committed as ever to their employees, players, fans, sponsors and partners and to putting a competitive product on the field.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is how often are major sports franchises put up for sale? And one that he lives close to now. Maybe he gets a shot at the Commanders when they inevitably go up for sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Maybe instead of Besos, Ted Leonsis will buy the Nats. I know we all have issue with the way Leonsis handles the Wizards but, I think we can all agree he’d pay his top players and wouldn’t let them leave/trade them away but he’s stayed Loyal to the best Caps players & Wiz players until Brooks/Tommy convinced him getting Westbrook would be better than retaining Wall who had had two injury plagued seasons after a great 2017-18 and signing his max deal.

I seriously want nothing to do with Leonsis and the Nats. The thought of him owning three underachieving teams with his worry over brand instead of success would tilt me.

Other than that, we'd never with the world series again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t keep their young talent but strausburg who can’t stay healthy. Not keeping Rendon & Turner was stupid. I doubt Soto stays if the team isn’t winning. Soto wasn’t happy when they traded Schwarber, Turner & Scherzer last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked for the Caps remember how many people were saying blow it up with Ovi, Backstrom, Carlson, Kuzy & Oshie for like 4 years, the same year they won the cup some wanted to blow the team up bc they couldn’t win in the playoffs. Then, they go and win the whole damn thing! Edited April 16, 2022 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
