The Washington Nationals expect to have their financial information available for potential buyers this week, the latest step in the Lerner family’s exploration of a sale of the club, two people with familiar with the process said on Monday.
Would-be buyers who are preapproved by Major League Baseball will be able to access a “data room” that contains all the club’s financials. That will include, but not be limited to, items such as existing sponsorship deals, deferred compensation owed in player contracts, revenue from media rights deals and other sources. It will essentially let any interested party know exactly what they would be buying.
