The momentum, of this sale is definitely dragging and and they're a handful of weeks away from the winter meetings. That should have been the target from the get go. I remember when the Lerners refused to pay rent on their stadium because all the curly W's weren't painted at Nats Park or whatever and then claimed the city owed THEM money because it wasn't finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm somewhere in the middle on this one. Ted doesn't play with NBA luxury tax because Polin didn't leave him in best position concerning the stadium from a revenue perspective and frankly the Wizards dont generate as much money as a lot of other NBA teams. Even in a Top 10 TV market Wizards are like middle of the pack revenue wise among the other NBA teams. Nationals are jus outside the top 10 in the same market even though being far less established in the area from a time perspective. NBA luxury tax seems less forgiving then MLB in part because NBA technical has a "hard cap" to go with it. Even then, Wizards come up to the salary wall all the time, even if by doing something stupid, jus so they don't "not use that cap space". So I don't expect Ted to be cheap, but he won't be making it rain, which matters a lot in MLB right now (NBA getting ready to crack down on the luxury tax, word on the street, in New CBA) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The big thing about Leonsis is that he pays to keep his stars. He paid to keep Ovi and Backy. Paid to keep Wall and Beal(even though Beal should have been traded but that's another discussion). I think there is a better chance we keep Harper and/or Soto if Leonsis were in charge. He understands the value of superstars and how much revenue they generate in the long term. Honestly I'd be okay with Leonsis. Better the devil you know. And at the end of the day the effect of the owner is pretty minimal as long as they're willing to spend somewhat and stay out of the way and aren't complete dbags. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not necessarily a good thing. Yes, I'd be fun to still have Soto, Harper, but what are the unintended consequences? We'd have a roster of Soto and...Soto and...Soto and? Or we'd have $230m tied up in 7 or 8 players, and even less in the minors, if we kept all of our stars. Also, hanging onto stars like the Phillies did with Ryan Howard is extremely detrimental. I am very much on the fence with Leonsis. It seems like the Caps are heading for a rebuild. I don't follow them that closely, but they look like they're an aging, mediocre, expensive team--which is what the Nats were after 2019, before the wheels fell off 2nd half of 2021. So, we'll see. It'll be an interesting offseason for both the Nats and Derrrrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 If Ted wants to spend money to keep his stars and put team around them to try and win rings, go for it. I can think if worse things then trying to figure out how to fill a roster around Turner, Harper, and Soto. My concern would be farm system, Wizards dont have history of developing talent. Caps going though a lot of injuries right now, hard to judge them for messing up a rebuild that hasn't started yet while also having the longest run of success in DC of all the sports teams this century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 ^ ^ ^ What a sad waste of talent. -- BTW, it's a shame that Joey Meneses didn't get a single Rookie of the Year vote. .324 BA .563 SLG 14 doubles, 13 HRs, 34 RBIs in just 56 games. He was more productive than any NL rookie not named other than Michael Harris II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Club made a bunch of roster moves this week. Protected Jake Alu, Matt Cronin, Jeremy De La Rosa, Jose Ferrer, Jake Irvin, and Jackson Rutledge. DFA’d Tommy Romero (that’s too bad he didn’t work out) Outrighted Yadiel Hernandez, Evan Lee, and Jackson Tetreault to AAA. Signed Vargas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible move for a team in this position. They are still short in the of. I’d give kieboon a chance to earn the LF spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
