Nunez has been up long enough to move off the list (which means Lipscomb and Parker’s spot will open up too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nats games that people can actually watch on TV? What makes you think ownership change would come with prying TV rights away from MASN? I would love to hear otherwise, but as far as I know MASN has full control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The MASN deal is already close to resolution anyway and without malcontents up north one would hope a more reasonable Rubenstein would be willing to sever ties and assign the Nationals their own TV rights finally. And what better place to put them than Monumental Sports Network, a channel most people already get for Caps and Wizards games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Leonsis have to own the team to have the Nats broadcasted on Monumental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a guarantee but the sheer notion of the Nats actually being able to be seen in the area is very enticing. Factor in Leonsis/ willingness to keep star talent and it's a no-brainer.

Factor in Leonsis/ willingness to keep star talent and it's a no-brainer. I agree with having the Nationals on Monumental. But Leonsis owning the team doesn’t have to be a requisite for that to happen. Also, like you, I would love to have Rendon here on a full no-trade clause. 🤣 And, ughh, having Abrams, Gore, and Wood in this organization is probably the worst thing that has ever happened to this franchise. But we’ve known Ted has kept the Wizards a consistent winner during his ownership. With the salary cap in the NBA it gets so hard to decide which free agents to sign because the demand to come to Washington is so damn high. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MASN network essentially has no cash flow and no value in the sale, with almost all the revenue going to the two teams. MASN is basically a shell and with cord cutting and people being driven to VPN's and piracy because of antiquated blackout restrictions, it needs to be put out of it's mystery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The revenue stream is the asset and, as I understand it, the Orioles get more of the pie than just what the Orioles generate because Old ****face negotiated an awesome deal for himself.

Ball Security Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Jackson Rutledge up as the 27th man. I guess it’s just for an emergency as he pitched on Saturday. Sounds like Winker will avoid the IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said grant and Danny (I don't listen) relayed that since Leonsis and rubenstein are friends they can come to an agreement to resolve the masn issue. I hope this would be the case but baby steps first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this would be the case but baby steps first. That would be great and I hope they can (if Leonsis actually buys the team, which I hope never happens). My comment was simply stating my doubts that Rubenstein would let go of MASNs rights to the Nats for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Ugh. Don't think we can rely on Ruiz being the catcher of the future. Seems like what he provides behind the plate has decreased every year since the trade here. His constant giving up on pitches on the edge of the zone drives me crazy. Ball is in the zone on pitch track and he doesn't bother to even frame it... His arm strength looks no where near MLB level either Edited May 15 by CRobi21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
