I just hope the Lerners reach an agreement to sell the team soon. It's holding this entire thing up.

After so many failures to retain their star talent - I was hoping Soto would be the exception. Rizzo - for our eternal gratitude bringing a title to DC - failed to handle the Harper/Rendon situations appropriately, if they knew a year or two out resigning was unlikely to happen they should've traded them and restocked the farm system - which obviously has to happen here if we can't afford Soto.

I still hope they resign Soto - they need a solid foundation for the rebuild and without him we're gonna have a very hard time attracting quality talent to sign with this team.

Anyways I'm taking the long route of saying I hope the Lerners sell soon - obviously they don't want to pony up the cash it would take to retain Soto. But if we offer 500+ and Soto still turns us down? Sell to the highest bidder.

I just want to see Soto be that homegrown HOF-quality player who spends his career with the Nats.
