Billionaire Ted Leonsis made it clear that he still wants to add Major League Baseball’s Nationals to his collection of Washington sports franchises.
“Adding that team is really important to the business,” Leonsis said during an interview on Bloomberg TV on Thursday. “We own the winter sports. We own the network. We own the venues.”
