However, in order for the Nats to get their AAA affiliate in Virginia&#8217;s capital, they&#8217;d need someone to move a team there. Right now the Braves are not happy with Richmond&#8217;s ballpark, The Diamond and may just be using threats to move as a ploy to improve that park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t think we can get our hopes up that Richmond will be the Nats AAA home &#8212; yet. Since the Nats are not very good about multi-tasking (&#8220;we&#8217;re focusing on the new ballpark!&#8221;) it may be a few years before something works out.
