For a pitcher of his quality, Strasburg is making peanuts.
If it was money that was the main point they would ride him into the ground. Right or wrong the Nats obviously want to win long-term, rather than risk blowing out this guys arm in the playoffs with a less than stellar run support
You think when they pay him they will be losing money on the deal? No
He is right, if it was about winning stras would be playing
It's about money. Keeping their cash cow healthy for years to come to keep the jersey sales up and the attendance up
It's not about winning, because if it were they would have taken this chance now. It's about not losing the superstar Because the front office knows they can stay very profitable and respectable and keep their jobs without actually selling out for the title

It's about winning long-term which is what GMs get paid to plan for.
Fans piss and moan about winning now, but 2 years after winning a title if your team isnt winning again your arse gets right back on the hot seat

I agree with the point you're trying to make, but keep in mind a few seasons without making the playoffs or advancing past the first round and it doesn't matter what stud you have on the field...fans will stop coming
