An eye-opening piece from the Washington Post’s Barry Svrluga, Andrew Golden, a
nd Chelsea Janes sheds some light on the Nats, as the Post trio spoke with “mor
e than a dozen current or former employees of the Nationals and others around ML
B familiar with how the Lerners run their team.” The overall opinion isn’t po
sitive, as the story outlines a too-many-cooks situation that has left the Natio
nals without a singular leadership voice.
《华盛顿邮报》记者 Barry Svrluga、Andrew Golden 与 Chelsea Janes 的一篇深度报导
，揭露了国民队的内部状况，三人访谈了“十多位现任或前任国民队员工，以及熟悉Lerner
s家族经营方式的 MLB 人士”，整体评价并不乐观，报导指出，国民队陷入多头马车的局面
，导致球队缺乏单一的领导声音
“It’s so inefficient. When there’s that many people in the room, it’s hard
to come to decisions in an orderly fashion,” said one source. One former emplo
yee is still unclear on the decision-making process, wondering “How does [anyth
ing] get decided? Who has input into it? Who is influential and who’s not? I
couldn’t tell you the first thing because I’m not in those meetings.”
一位消息人士表示
“这样的效率非常低，当会议室里有那么多人时，要有条理地做出决策几乎不可能”
另一名前员工则对决策流程依旧一头雾水，他疑惑地说
“事情到底是怎么决定的？谁能提出意见？谁有影响力、谁没有？我完全无法回答，因为我
根本不在那些会议里”
Ted Lerner (who passed away in 2023) initially bought the Nationals in 2006, and
his son Mark became the team’s official control person in 2018. Mark Lerner i
s the name most fans associate with being the Nationals’ “owner” in a broad s
ense, but Mark has been open about the fact that he is far from the only member
of the family with a say in the team’s operations.
Ted Lerner（已于 2023 年辞世）在 2006 年买下了国民队，而他的儿子 Mark 则在 2018
年成为球队的正式控股人，对大多数球迷而言，Mark Lerner 的名字几乎等同于国民队的“
老板”，不过，Mark 本人也坦言，他绝不是家族里唯一对球队运作有发言权的人
This seemingly means that up to 10 different people share input into the Nationa
ls’ decisions, according to Svrluga/Golden/Janes. The list includes Mark Lerne
r, his sister Marla Lerner Tanenbaum, his brothers-in-law Bob Tanenbaum and Ed C
ohen, four of Ted Lerner’s grandchildren (Jonathan and Jacob Lerner, Michael an
d Jaclyn Cohen), and “to a lesser extent” Mark’s wife Judy and Mark’s sister
Debra Lerner Cohen.
根据 Svrluga、Golden 与 Janes 的报导，这意味着多达 10 个人对国民队的决策都有发言
权。名单包括
Mark Lerner
他的妹妹 Marla Lerner Tanenbaum
两位妹夫 Bob Tanenbaum 与 Ed Cohen
Ted Lerner 的四位孙子：Jonathan Lerner、Jacob Lerner、Michael Cohen、Jaclyn Cohe
n
在“相对次要的程度上”参与的还有 Mark 的妻子 Judy 和 妹妹 Debra Lerner Cohen
The sheer number of people involved in the leadership structure is an obvious im
mediate issue. A former Nationals executive described this organizational struc
ture as “chaotic,” and two different Post sources referred to the team as “di
rectionless.” Another former employee said that “more than once, I had an own
er tell me to do something and then had another say not to spend time on it.”
庞大的人数参与领导架构，本身就是一个显而易见的问题，一名前国民队高层将这种组织结
构形容为“混乱”，另有两位《华盛顿邮报》的消息来源则直言球队“没有方向”，还有一
名前员工透露：“不只一次，有位老板要我去做某件事，结果另一位却说不要浪费时间在那
上面”
For some insight into the various personalities involved within the family, Mark
is known to have the most overt interest in baseball operations, while the Post
story notes that Ed Cohen “is more heavily involved in major business negotiat
ions.” Marla Lerner Tanenbaum “oversees the Nationals’ philanthropic arm” a
nd her husband Bob “is the least involved in day-to-day operations.”
就家族成员在球队中的角色而言，Mark 被认为是对棒球营运最积极关注的人，《华盛顿邮
报》的报导指出，Ed Cohen“更深入参与重大商业谈判”；Marla Lerner Tanenbaum 则“
负责国民队的公益部门”；而她的丈夫 Bob“在日常营运中参与度最低”
The lack of a team president was noted as a flaw by several sources, as the Nati
onals haven’t had anyone in the position since Stan Kasten left the organizatio
n following the 2010 season. The specific responsibilities of a team president
vary from club to club depending on who is in the role, but having someone from
either a baseball or business background in the position would seemingly help th
e Nats, as it would mean fewer day-to-day decisions that have to be filtered thr
ough the many members of the Lerner family.
多位消息人士指出，国民队自从Stan Kasten在 2010 年球季后离开球团以来，就一直没有
设置“球团总裁”一职，这是组织上的一大缺陷，虽然各队总裁的职责会因人而异，但若能
由具备棒球或商业背景的人出任，对国民队显然有帮助，因为这将减少许多日常决策需要层
层经过Lerner家族多位成员审批的情况
