WASHINGTON -- Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals are no longer for sale, ending a search for a new owner after the team was on the market for nearly two years.

Principal owner Mark Lerner told The Washington Post on Monday during spring training in West Palm Beach, Florida, that his family "has determined that we are not going to sell the team." A Nationals spokesperson confirmed the Post's report.

The Lerner family, which has owned the team since buying it from MLB in 2006, began exploring a potential sale in April 2022.
