Washington Nationals owner, Mark Lerner, penned a letter to fans on Tuesday to try and explain the fire-sale he green-lit. The club sent Daniel Murphy to the Chicago Cubs and Matt Adams to the St. Louis Cardinals. It feels kind of anticlimactic. Much like this letter, in which Mr. Lerner writes:
When something isn’t working, you evaluate the situation and take the necessary steps to improve it. You don’t just stand by, cross your fingers, and hope for the best.
And therein lies the problem: a lack of self-awareness.
