Because we believe in the future of Baseball in the nation's capital, we have signed a lease that honors the 2004 agreement, while conforming to the emergency legislation that the Council passed last month.” BelieveHardLastsNationsTermChangedMonthsHonorBaseballAgreementLegislationConformEmergenciesCouncilRequestMayorsAccommodateMontrealLease Author:Bob DuPuy
“I'd like to have a vote on it at the November [owners'] meetings. There's no reason why we can't announce who we intend to sell the team to in conjunction with signing the lease. But it's very important that we sign a lease contemplated by the stadium agreement.
