Lerner Family Decides Not to Sell Washington Nationals

After nearly two years of speculation, the Lerner family confirms they will retain ownership of the team, aiming for future championships.

The Lerner family has decided not to sell the Washington Nationals, ending nearly two years of speculation about the team's future ownership.
Mark Lerner, the team's principal owner, confirmed the decision, stating the family is happy owning the team and aims to bring another championship to Washington.
The Nationals have been owned by the Lerner family since 2006, when they purchased the team from MLB for $450 million.
Under the Lerners' ownership, the Nationals won their first World Series in 2019 but have since undergone a significant rebuild, trading away major talent.
The decision to keep the team comes amid a legal dispute over local television rights and follows the recent sale of the nearby Baltimore Orioles for $1.725 billion.
