If the Cincinnati Reds are worth $360M, then what will the Nationals go for? Clearly Cincinnati’s a much smaller city than DC, with less than half our population, and in 2003, they held the crown for most declining city. Meanwhile, with a much larger potential fanbase, a new stadium on the way paid for by corporate welfare local taxpayers, the owners of the Nationals could be a baseball cash cow potentially worth as much as the stadium deal at final reckoning. That is, of course, if MLB ever decides to actually sell the damn thing.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
