This will never not be depressing. How all of this turned out and just losing everyone sucks so much. Its hard to continue being a fan with the Lerners in charge.


I agree, this is is ALMOST history repeating itself (Expos in the 90s trading away their star players every year). Being a happy fan is contingent on having a competent owner of the team.

I'm 72.  I gotta admit that I'd probably be tryin' to screw you guys outta your life savings if I had the chance too...and I plan to live forever...
You will have to live forever to see the Bears get a real QB.

Yes, and are you familiar with the sad history of ownership of MLB in DC? It’s a real downer that the city has suffered through some bad ones, whether it be due to a relative lack of resources or just poor management — or both. Almost everyone thought that the Lerners would do the city proud and be good stewards of the team as well as do what it took to maintain a perennially competitive team. They’ve made some strange decisions with the team over the years, but I really did not see this situation coming. DC baseball fans deserve so much better.

Yes I am, I know that the city has had bad luck when it comes to good MLB ownership. Hopefully the Lerners sell soon  :icon_frown:

Look at the bright side. Cheap tickets on the secondary market. And no lines in the restrooms.
I'd rather watch on a big screen at home and not have to always be envious of other teams' fans.

Every time I go to Nats Park I feel like I'm kissing my sister or I'm visiting a museum up the street.

what an arrogant article and mindset for the NYY. We are so vastly superior. You owe your success to our park and Judge. We have a superior fanbase.

He didn’t sign with the team that always wins. Oh wait the Yankees haven’t won since 2009 and Judge will be getting old.

Has anyone seen the picture of Juan in the Mets jersey where it looks like he’s got a beer gut?

I thought he looked good as a Yankee. Looked good as a National too but the pinstripes seemed to suit him in my opinion. Don't think I can say the same for the Mets unis, though maybe there's some bias creeping in.

More from the Juan Soto podcast: "The #Nationals made me three offers: first, an offer similar to Ronald Acuña Jr.'s deal; then another offer similar to Fernando Tatis Jr.'s contract; and then came the $440 million offer. If they had signed Turner, Rendon and Harper, I would have accepted an offer even lower than $440 million"

Juan Soto is so full of crap. Just admit you did it for the money.

Two of those guys are currently on the Phillies. Pretty sure Dombrowski would have traded for Rendon's contract if you were willing to sign for under 440 million dude.

Great players want to play for winners. Boras knew where the team was headed.

Arod to the rangers is a good cautionary tale for any free agent believing the owners will start spending once they land a big name free agent
