LEONARD SHAPIRO<\/span> – Carpenter Deserves Recognition in Nats’ Booth<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Shapiro thinks Bob Carpenter<\/span>, flaws and all, got a raw deal from the Nationals, Stan Kasten<\/span> and Don Sutton<\/span>.<\/p>\n

I spoke with Carpenter by telephone on Monday as he was driving across the country back to his home in Tulsa. He was probably going to make a stop along the way to talk with another club that was interested in his services, but he also made it very obvious that he would dearly love to stay with the Nationals, despite the shabby way he’s been treated.<\/p>\n

“I’m in a holding pattern,” he said. “I was approached (by the Nationals) last weekend and told that maybe it’s not over, and in a week they’ll let me know what they’re thinking. It’s a bizarre situation. The club has made no comment. I don’t know if the reaction of fans has turned the tide. I just know the door is not closed. It’s not wide open, but it’s a lot more ajar.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently, there was talk of a contract extension earlier:<\/p>\n

Ironically, this past June, MASN was prepared to offer Carpenter a three-year extention of his original two-year deal signed in 2006. But the Lerners, who now own about 12 percent of the cable network (with a majority share held by Peter Angelos, the bumbling owner of the Baltimore Orioles), apparently wanted to explore other options and never signed off on the deal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interesting.<\/p>\n
