You've probably heard that the Lerners are "exploring" the possibility of selling the Nationals. Of course as soon as I heard that, a couple of things came to mind right away. First was the fire sale they had last year that pink slipped (and traded) every 2019 WS player except Soto, and how this exploration most definitely was going on last year and only made public this year. The other is how close the Lerner's must be to bankruptcy.
Anyway, it seems unlikely to me that new ownership would want to relocate the team. The DC govt and taxpayers have WAYYYYYYYY too much at stake to see them pull up and leave. It's been reported that Ted Leonsis (sp?) might be interested. To me that would be a best case scenario.
