Again, Look at the definition. Its not the case with the Nats. Nobody follows them. Look at Marlins, Steelers and Clippers cases among others and probably you find the answers.
-
Exactly. Hell, Get a fan base is not easy (media market). It takes a lot of time and championships. It is not Nats' position at all even they improved their team the last couple of seasons.

It doesn't matter where you play. It doesn't matter if you have money. if nobody follows you, theres no way you have a big media market. Hence you are not a big market team. As simple as that. I have no problem with my reading comp. Maybe you have wit yours (no offense) .Take a look at the definition.

Are you suggesting that the Washington Nationals is a bigger market team than TEX/PHilli? Really? you are confused with the term dude. Take a look at the definition. Nobody is disputing whether they have money to spend or not. They are not a big market team according with the definition. They are not a big media market team. Nobody gives a s*** about the Washington Nationals; DC/US/Global. Their fan base is limited, even in their hometown. Buy advertising in a Nats game is not attractive since nobody follows them, Hence the broadcasters do not compensate them as they do with NY/BOs or even Philli or Tex. Hence, their media market is limited in both domestic and foreign. Hence they are not a big market team. It is conclusive.

So? Nobody give a s*** about them even in their own market.
-
yup, and mostly globally. Do you really think that foreign broadcasters are interested in transmit The Washington National games? In DC, they do not even care about their team according with the article. The Nats are not even attractive for their local audience. Said that, I wouldn't grade the Nats as a big market team.

Red Sox 2012 fearless prediction thread

Fixed. The Marlins are in that category (who spent most money) and are below us. -
According with wiki "In the terminology of professional sports in North America, teams are often said to be based not in a city but in a media market. The size of the media market is usually a good indication of the potential viability of a major league team" The Washington Nationals' global media market is not as big as big media market teams like Boston or NY. Not even close.

Chevere.

Maybe just stick with saying "I totally agree" to UN? posts.

Nobody is disputing the ability to spend. Marlins have spent tons of money this year and I bet that they do not receive the same compensation/revenue/gross margin/exposure/popularity than big market teams receive like Boston/NY via Broadcast/merchandise/tickets/advertising, etc. in both domestic and foreign.
-
Nope. I said that Nats are not a big market team. You said that DC is not a small market place. Sorry, You are confused.

Are you suggesting that the Nats is a big market team?
-
What percent does it represent, globally?
-
Well, he is 26, isn't he? and he is a 4.0 ERA pitcher...he probably could improve, who knows?...
-
Lannan is cost controlled till 2014, isn't he? I really doubt that Nats trade him for bulks like Lars Anderson. If they trade him, they will ask top prospects. He has not even reached his prime, has he?

If they are like the same... why would The Nats want to get rid of him? are 5M the real problem for them?.
