The Nationals won 98 games in 2012. They won a World Series in 2019. There were disappointing seasons in between, but we went into every season with hope the team could break through. All stars replaced all stars, multiple Hall of Famers graced Nationals Park. Seven years is a long, long time in sports!

It got bad fast at the end and the Lerners own that. Still, the success of the 2010's didn't happen by accident.

It's going to be up to the new owners to sit down with Rizzo and see if he can make the case the collapse last couple seasons is more ownership pulling the plug then him losing his edge.

IMHO, the collapse of the last two seasons was largely the failure for Fedde, Robles and Kieboom to develop, Corbin's woes, and Strasburg.
