Right. With the team they're fielding now, the Nats could most certainly approach a rival network and beat the $1.2 billion the San Diego Padres got. I mean, they're the freaking Padres.
Look at what has happened with the Redskins and the Caps. If the Nats win a World series with two of the biggest stars in baseball, their popularity will blow up. There will be opportunities for programming beyond the games. if Angelos is smart, he'll shut up and pay whatever is awarded. Even if it's $100 million, he'll eventually make a profit IMO. I just hope he's not that smart.
