Nats Park, not the national narrative


Sport DMV covers the Nationals as a neighborhood beat — the rotation, the farm arms, and the midweek crowds that still show up.

Should the Nationals extend CJ Abrams at this point in time before he becomes an unrestricted free agent 2 years from now. Or should they wait the 2 years and see what he gets once he goes to arbitration. The ownership needs to start keeping players so they can start building a wedding base. If not the fans will become disinterested. We already lost two other baseball teams one in 1961 as the Senators moving to Minnesota to become the Twins. We got an expansion team with 1962 renamed in the Senators and he left in 1970 and became the Texas Rangers don't need that to happen again.
