Mark Lerner has replaced 92-year-old father Ted Lerner as managing principal owner of the Nationals.

The team announced that Ted Lerner is stepping down and will be succeeded by his son after Major League Baseball approved the move at its quarterly meeting in New York.

Ted Lerner has controlled the Nationals since his family bought the team from MLB in 2006 Cheap Da'Ron Payne Jersey , the year after the team moved from Montreal. The real estate magnate says owning a team in his hometown was always a dream and he knew his son eventually would run the club.

鈥?Hue Jackson apologized. There was nothing else to do after making unwelcome history.One day after an inconceivable season ended without a win, Cleveland’s coach was grateful to still have his job and Jackson took steps to sooth an angry fan base and players who may have doubts about him.Jackson somehow survived the Browns’ 0-16 season, but it will leave scars.“This is going to be next to my name for the rest of my life,” he said Monday. “This is part of my legacy now, some of the players that are here, the coaches that are here Su'a Cravens Color Rush Jersey , everybody.”For weeks, Jackson, who has managed to stay in the good graces of owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam despite a 1-31 record over two seasons, and the Browns did all they could to reject the possibility of football infamy.

It hurts.“Hopefully they forget my name as the years go by,” Browns cornerback Jason McCourty said. “A terrible thing to be a part of Authentic Mark Walton Jersey , wish you weren’t a part of. We could have won the last game, 1-15 gets you out of the history book, but 1-15 is awful, just as bad. It’s tough.”And sadly, the Browns aren’t done taking hits. They’re an easy target, a punchline Authentic Miguel Montero Jersey , the team to pile on. While their dismal season has mercifully ended, they’re going to continue to take blows 鈥?until they win.“It is awful,” Jackson said. “We all have to wear it. I don’t think anybody wants to be associated with that. No one started the season thinking that this is how it would turn out. I’m sorry and I apologize if people think that we are not distraught about it, but I don’t think us talking about it over and over and over again because I think everybody else will.”Jackson’s right. The 2017 Browns have joined the unofficial club of notorious losers, lumped in with the worst of the worst from other sports genres.Cleveland fans are beyond frustrated. Worn down by years of losing, one group has planned a parade around the team’s downtown stadium on Saturday to “celebrate” the imperfect season.Many are enraged that Jackson has returned Marcus Davenport Jersey Saints , and he knows there’s only one way to satisfy them.“Get to winning,” he said. “It is not going to be anything I can really say.
