Straight from Jayson Stark’s “rumblings and grumblings” on ESPN.com, here’s some Nats Ownership news. I’d link to it, but you gotta be an Insider, kids.
“Major League Baseball will finally get moving next week on finding the Nationals an owner. MLB has set the end of May as the deadline for the nine known bidders to submit their bids.
So how did baseball get around the continuing uncertainty about the future of the new regional sports network which will theoretically air both Orioles and Nationals games?
Groups were instructed to make one bid with the assumption that the network will get off the ground as scheduled – and one based on the possibility it won't exist at all.”
Hopefully this news might get the team to hit again. Probably not. On this I defer to Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post – “ Right now, if you rolled a bowling ball through the on-deck circle, Brad Wilkerson would run over and swing at it. And, if there were men on base, he'd probably miss.”
