OT: Nats, Wiz, O's, Ravens, Terps, Navy, Gtown, Mystics, 2019-2020, Vol 2

That Rizzo quote means nothing other than we know each other well and they know we want them back and we know they love playing here. Doesn't mean they sign or don't. Its just a fact

 

[Ridley Simon]

This doesn’t sound good.

They (Phillies) just signed Wheeler. So, don’t see them in the Stras stakes

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Also,



I suggested this before and it makes a lot of sense. Rendon is from Texas and the Rangers need so big names to open their new park.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Not a huge reach but nice prediction.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Well the Lerners said he can’t afford both Stras and Rendon. Why does our owner want to turn us into the Marlins

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Fun win Wiz.

Easy to say when its not your better part of a billion

“The Nationals are experiencing a revenue festival in 2020,” Boras wrote via text on Friday morning. “World Series momentum has blossomed, millions in DC.
“The franchise value has increased by nearly $2 billion since their purchase. The Nationals made an extra $30 million winning the World Series. Attendance will increase by more than four to five hundred thousand. TV ratings and advertising rates all skyrocketed.

“Everyone in DC knows special cherry trees create revenue bloom.”

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Has snake Boras seen how the Lerners dress? Are we sure they have that much $? Lol....


What’s the mood going to be like if both leave?

 

[txpd]

Strasburg and Rendon are gone. I guess I should be happy with what we got last season and move along

I am a Seattle Mariner fan. Longest streak of not making the postseason. Never been in a World series. Like a rudderless ship, really.

I'd gladly take a championship and have the team ripped apart.

Have you seen this? Not to pile on, but I discovered Almost Live! when I lived in Seattle briefly long ago. (Bill Nye got his start on this show.) This is one of their legit classics.



(What was the deal the moose, anyway?)

Great news and if they could only resign one keeping Stras was the right choice. Now they need to lock up Turner and Soto.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Good.

 

[kicksavedave]

7 years, $245M = $35M. Expensive and risky, but I like it. Had to keep the WS MVP, starting pitchers who crush it in the playoffs are what wins championships. Merry Strasmus indeed!

Thanks for everything Tony Two Bags, good luck.

 

[kicksavedave]

Also this:

This also is three more years and $145 million more than the contract Strasburg opted out of last month.

So this is the real increase the Nats shelled out to keep him, his WS reward, if you will.

Revenues even more so if you think about it....MLB was near 3x NHL.
