Are the Washington Nationals for sale?

The Nationals are currently owned by real estate manager Ted Lerner and his son. There were reports in April about the two possibly selling the team. 

In a statement sent to The Washington Post, Mark Lerner told the paper, "this is an exploratory process, so there is no set timetable or expectation of a specific outcome. The organization is as committed as ever to their employees, fans, sponsors, and partners and to putting a competitive product on the field."
