Before the 2005 season, the Montreal Expos were moved to Washington, DC and became the Washington Nationals. In their first season in DC, they surprisingly led the NL East at the All-Star Break, but struggled in the second half of the season. They finished the year in last place in the division but did manage a .500 record. However, they were a success at the gate, drawing more than 2.7 million fans to R.F.K. Stadium.

The Nationals are currently owned by a group headed by Ted Lerner. They were previously owned by Major League Baseball and sold for $450 million in July 2006 .
