Perspective: “For sale” means hope for the Commanders, confusion for the Nationals
— and I understand not everyone can reach that head space — this whole process is unsettling. During the first build of a contender, the town was just happy to have a team after 33 years without baseball, and most people here had no idea what it felt like to win. Now the fan base knows the entire experience — the scars that come from postseason disappointments, the payoff when everything falls into place.
Does all that mean the people who built the first winner, Rizzo and his staff, deserve the chance to do it again? Or are fresh eyes and fresh voices a better remedy? In some ways, it’s pointless to ask those questions when you don’t know who’s providing the answer. The Lerner familyfor both Rizzo and Manager Dave Martinez for 2023. It could well be Leonsis who will decide their fates beyond.
The particulars for the Nats — who owns the team, who runs the team, who manages the team — really matter. Not knowing who’s in charge next year at this time — or even a month from now or four months from now — brings with it a little bit of paralysis. Maybe not internally, where the front office may well make a number of one-year signings that could prop up the current roster and let the new core develop around them.
