Evidently the so-called "trade deadline" in Major League Baseball means nothing. It occurred on July 31. So how is it three weeks later, as in now, the Washington Nationals were able to ship two of their better players to the Cubs and Cardinals?
And therein lies the problem regarding season tickets. Once purchased the holder is stuck with them. It matters not if the club, in this case the Nats, throws in the towel on the season and begins unloading good players to save money.
If there was any justice in the world of sports, the same ticket holders should be able to return the unused tickets for all future home games and get their money back.
True, most thought the Nats would be contenders. After all, they have/had scads of talent. Also true is they have a nasty history of quickly bowing out in the playoffs. But at least they got there.
The club crying "uncle" and giving up mid-season to dump salaries is not what the season ticket holders signed up for.
If they want to go el-cheapo, than the fans should have an option as well.
As in likewise bail.
What could be fairer than that?
