I know the Nationals suck, but they're in no way approaching the horseshit that Bob Nutting has been pulling for decades.
Washington is paying roughly as much for Strasburg and Corbin as the Pirates are spending on their total payroll.
So yeah, the Nats are shitty, but they've taken a much different path to arrive in their current state of shittiness. Hell, they've won their division 3 times in the past 10 years (and that's not counting 2019 when they won the World Series).
The Pirates have literally never won the NL Central (their last division title was the 1992 NL East). In the past 30 seasons, they've only finished 2nd 4 times. It's absolute garbage.
I feel bad for Pirates fans, because they're at the mercy of a trash heap of an owner with no relief in sight.
