At the very least, it stands to reason that Leonsis given his market and TV deal positioning with his other teams as well as having Mark Lerner as a partner at one point may be as informed as possible and up-to-date as to the true picture.
I was just commenting on someone saying they could sell MASN by itself. Yes I think Leonsis doing it as part of a deal to buy the Nats makes sense. Especially if the Angelos son wants to sell his team. It clears the decks for both franchises.
