ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Good news for Washington Nationals owner Ted Lerner. When he gets to West Palm Beach for spring training, he’ll find the World Series trophy there.
Granted, it will be on the Houston Astros‘ side of the training facility they share with the Nationals, but at least he can get close to it — maybe reach out and touch it.
After all, you may not hear any organization in baseball talk more about the goal of winning a World Series this spring than the Nationals.
It was the theme repeated over and over when the Nationals, with Ted Lerner just a few feet away, introduced new manager Dave Martinez in November.
