The Nationals and the D.C. mayor's administration have "reached a deal to spend millions of taxpayer dollars for updates" to Nationals Park, including a new scoreboard. D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson said the costs will be "somewhere around" $20-$22M. A spokesperson for Events DC "confirmed a deal has been reached," but "would not provide details or confirm the cost." However, a spokesperson "pushed back at Mendelson’s claim about the price tag." D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser "declined any comment" when asked if the deal had been finalized and whether she supported spending millions to improve the ballpark (NBCWASHINGTON.com, 10/2).
