Baseball’s billion-dollar chess game is about to get a new king, and this one isn’t here to just shake hands and wave from the luxury box. After years of legal red tape thicker than a bullpen meltdown in extra innings, Washington Naltionals’ ownership saga may finally see its checkered flag. The only thing standing between a $3.1 billion takeover and reality? Just the last remnants of a 20-year squabble that makes even MLB’s longest games look like a sprint.

After the 20-year dispute between the Orioles and the Nationals ended, the latter might be happy to give away their broadcasting rights to someone else. And they might also be happy to sell the franchise if it comes to the table. According to many rumors, Ted Leonsis is coming for it, and if this is true, the Nationals are in luck.

David Samson mentioned on his YouTube Channel, “The phone is going to ring, the Lerner family is going to pick up, and it is going to be Ted Leonsis.”  We know Leonsis has good money as he is the owner of the Washington Capitals and the Washington Wizards.

And as we know the two important things the Lerner family wants right now are the sale of the broadcasting rights and the sale of the franchise. Ted Leonsis can accomplish both with his money and his broadcasting company. But the question on everybody’s mind is whether the Nationals will be worth what they once were. Will the Lerner family be able to sell them at the right price?

If Leonsis is indeed the caller, the Nationals might finally get the stability they’ve been waiting for—along with a hefty deposit in the bank. But in the high-stakes world of MLB ownership, nothing is final until the ink dries and the egos are satisfied. So, will Washington’s baseball saga end with a smooth sale or yet another extra-innings legal battle? Stay tuned—this game isn’t over just yet.

Washington Nationals secure stability: Kyle Finnegan returns on $6M deal to anchor bullpen

After a season of late-game meltdowns, the Nationals are finally taking bullpen security seriously. No more crossing fingers in the ninth inning—Washington is locking in the arms they trust. With a familiar face returning to the mound, the team is betting on experience over uncertainty. The question now is whether this move will tighten the leaks or just slap a fresh coat of paint on an old problem.

The Washington Nationals are reshaping their bullpen for 2025. And the signing of Kyle Finnegan on a one-year, $6 million deal is what the Nationals needed, and even the player is very happy to be there.

During an interview, he said, “I always was open to the idea of a reunion. It’s a place that I felt super comfortable and have gotten to know so many great people over the years.” We all know that his time with the Nationals has been full of highs and lows. But one thing was consistent, the commitment. Finnegan also seemed satisfied with the team the Nationals are building and wants to continue there.

If stability is what the Nationals wanted, they’ve certainly put their money where their bullpen is. Finnegan’s return signals trust, experience, and hope that blown saves become a thing of the past. Now, all that’s left is for him to prove that this investment isn’t just another expensive experiment in late-game heartbreak.
