so it will take 7 years at $35 million a year to keep Rendon, plus 7 years at around $30 million a year to keep Strasburg. Can we afford either of them? Or both?
If we commit to those two, we probably need to be ready to part with Trea Turner after 2020. Hopefully Garcia or Kieboom are ready to take over at SS.
Depends on the World Series boost of revenue. Ticket pricess were already in the book for next season, but a jump in attendance will help. Interesting to know if they can still push up advertising rates for next season.
The Nationals have been floating in the Top 5 to Top 10 in spending the latter half of this decade. I think to get into the Top 5 consistently, which Strasburg and Rendon require, they have to sort out MASN and consider naming rights to the stadium.
