Breaking News: Kasten to resign at end of season

According to several sources, Washington Nationals president Stan Kasten will resign at the end of the season for "personal reasons".

It has been widely speculated that Kasten would leave the team because of differences between him and team owner Ted Lerner. While Kasten wants to spend more on upgrading the roster, Lerner was not willing to buy into that philosophy, causing a riff between the two.

It is a shame to see Kasten leave like this, as he has been one of the driving forces for change within the organization. The team and its fans finally have something to believe in, recognizing that the Nationals would not be where they are today without his efforts. There will certainly be more developments and reaction with this story from both parties.
