Ted Leonsis, owner of Monumental and the Caps, also apparently is a suitor to buy the Washington Nationals.

Possible paywall here (I subscribe).

Ted Leonsis, the owner of Washington’s NBA, NHL and WNBA franchises, has emerged as a suitor for the Washington Nationals, multiple people familiar with the process said on Tuesday.
Leonsis, whose Monumental Sports & Entertainment owns the Wizards, Capitals and Mystics, is among the would-be buyers granted access to the Nationals’ financial data, a key step in preparing a bid for the District’s MLB franchise.

How much money does Leonsis *actually have* to pursue a Nats bid though? It seems more like wishful thinking on his part.

Moreover, considering how he basically doesn't care about the Wizards at all and focuses squarely on the Caps, would the Nats end up the same?

Does this mean it will lose the NBC branding?
