Happy New Year to 2023, and we can finally, and properly refer to 2022 as last year. For the Washington Nationals, that was a year to file away in the “not repeat” file. With 107 losses and the trade of Juan Soto, the team has moved on to being a team in transition, but also one in a state of flux with regards to the ownership situation. The team was not sold last year as most expected.

Hot Stove moves! Hot Stove moves!
GMs on their phones!
Oh what fun it is to see
Off-season deals get done!
I thought I’d watch a game
Recorded Nationals’ win—
But looking at the last three years
The pickings were quite thin.
Hot Stove moves! Hot Stove moves!
Where’d Correa sign?!
Boras reps a player and
Steve Cohen’s on the line.
I wish the Nationals’ sale
Was finished either way
Looks like the Lerners’ll own the team
When players start to play.
Hot Stove moves! Hot Stove moves!
Oh! the WBC!
At least Nats fans can cheer US
On to victory!

Oh little team of Washington
How still we see thee lie!
As other teams fulfill their dreams
The Nats are standing by. Continue reading
Should auld acquaintance be forgot?
They’re all on other teams!
Through trading or free agency
The current team is lean.
The NL East will be a beast,
For now and years to come,
But Nationals (and Marlins, too)
Just haven’t got much done.
Rizz signed some guys, some bargain buys
Of “hopeful” quality. Continue reading

The silence has been deafening from Washington Nationals’ principal owner Mark Lerner on the direction of the team — and his exploration of the sale of the team that started over eight months ago. What we know about the Lerner family is that they stay quiet in the public, and don’t crave the spotlight. But they have not been officially heard from since April 11 when they said they were going to explore a sale of the team. Continue reading

We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
If you’d like a full side-by-side comparison of the platforms and the reasons behind this decision, please refer to the chart below. This change is being made with the long-term benefit of the entire community in mind.
