Played as: Washington Nationals 1901-1955 Washington Senators 1956-1960 Minnesota Twins 1961-Present hmmm funny to think these two franchises have one more thing in common when they will be contracted when the league shrinks to 28 teams....

I thought the Senators were traded to Texas to become the Rangers.... ?

you are correct, washington was awarded a new franchise after the move to Minnesota also called the senators
and after like 10 years they were moved to texas
Washington had 2 MLB teams called the Senators and both failed.now the city wants another team and theyre having problem staying again , sigh

Hooray! Proposals went through and payments were secured! MLB approved the new proposal and it looks like Washington will have a baseball team for 2005!

especially since now you have Pedro....

huge 1 year bump for this thread... it seems like we're replaying 2004 all over again.

The nationals are at the crossroads again, as estimated costs for the new stadium goes up. Millions of dollars that the DC council did not agree with MLB for.. so now it's likely that the council will reject the proposed stadium tax, and therefore void the contract with MLB.

I'm crossing my fingers on this, and I'll be watching this very closely, but I might not be going to see Nats play in DC next season.

Nats are the team, series is the dream.
