A statement from Stan Kasten
This statement is from Stan Kasten on behalf of the Nationals organization:
With the recent restructuring of the Washington Times in mind, I would like to–on behalf of the Nationals–thank the entire Times sports department for their fantastic coverage of the Nationals and baseball as a whole.
I would single out the individual and collective efforts of Mark Zuckerman, Ben Goessling and Thom Loverro, the Times’s primary baseball team. Their day-to-day professionalism and devoted coverage chronicled the Nationals’s early years in DC and set a foundation of journalistic excellence that Nationals fans have come to expect.
We wish Mark, Ben, Thom and everyone from the Times the very best going forward.

Definitely Thom, Mark, Ben and others have played a major role in the development and coverage of the National?s and Time?s primary baseball team. I would also like to give them a standing ovation because they are truly dedicated and have big hearts. – Jordan
