Washington ? As far as Washington is concerned, the negotiations with Major League Baseball essentially are done. Now it’s a matter of waiting for a 33-year drought to end.

Months of talks — including an 111/2-hour session last week and another round that lasted until midnight Wednesday — have produced a 30-page document that conditionally would award the Montreal Expos to the nation’s capital.

“I would say that it is virtually completed without any major deal points outstanding,” Bill Hall, chairman of the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission’s baseball committee, said Friday.

So what’s next?

“As far as I’m concerned,” Hall said, “(it) is to hear from Major League Baseball that we have a deal.”

The wait shouldn’t be long. The city needs a decision by the end of next week so that legislation can be introduced to pay for a $13 million renovation of RFK Stadium as well as $440 million package that would build a new stadium south of the Capitol along the Anacostia River.
