The Stan Kasten Interview - Now Online

Stan Kasten is back in the sports executive game. The man that is still the only sports executive to be president of three franchises at one time, is soon to be the co-owner and president of the Washington Nationals.

The following interview took place just two days after the award of the franchise. It deals entirely with the selection process and what areas the new owners of the Nationals will address. The interview touches on how and why he merged with the Lerners, how his relationship in the past with the Lerners made for an easy transition into the group, whether the formation of the Red Sox ownership group in 2002 had any bearing on the Nationals ownership creation (Selig moving individuals from the groups around to get a "super group"), what steps will need to be taken to help market the team, the issue with MASN and Comcast being in dispute, whether the new owners will address improvements to RFK, what Kasten learned in the development of Turner Field that can be applied to the new Nationals stadium, the philosophy that Kasten has on player development, what National fans can expect of the new owners, and much more.
