"Washington Nationals Taken Off the Market, Owner Mark Lerner Confirms"
Washington Nationals' principal owner Mark Lerner announced that the team is no longer for sale, ending a nearly two-year search for a new owner. The Lerner family, which has owned the team since 2006, had been exploring a potential sale since April 2022. This decision comes after the recent agreement for businessman David Rubenstein to buy the nearby Baltimore Orioles. The Nationals have struggled in the past four seasons after winning the World Series in 2019.
