Sports Alert: Washington Nationals owners say they’ll explore changes to team’s ownership, including a potential sale
| The Lerner family, owners of the Washington Nationals, said in a statement to The Washington Post that it has hired a New York investment bank to research potential investors — and possibly buyers — for the club. Ted Lerner, a real estate magnate and native Washingtonian, bought the team from Major League Baseball for $450 million in 2006, during its second season in Washington. Lerner, now 96, ceded control of the franchise to his son, Mark, in 2018. The Nationals are worth an estimated $2 billion, according to Forbes. |
