Re: Werth Watch: The NATIONALS?

5 PM press conference with Borass stating that his client has agreed to a deal.

I guess after today, I'll believe it when I see him holding a Nationals jersey next to Borass and Rizzo.

Heyman reporting it, too. Big shock. Going to be a battle for Crawford now.

Re: Werth Watch: The NATIONALS?

Wow, 7 year deal!

7/126 at that!

Re: Werth Watch: The NATIONALS?

Well this seems to set the market on Crawford at at least 7 years. Could eliminate the Sox as contenders for him as it is unlikely they will go past 6 with anyone

Just bigger than the Holliday contract. I'd rather have Matt.

Re: Werth Watch: The NATIONALS?

Wow they got a glorified Josh Willingham... Look at Werth's road numbers.

So, are the Red Sox now a Cliff Lee contender?

Werth:Crawford::7@126::????

Crawford and his agent must be laughing.

Re: Werth Watch: The NATIONALS?

Surprising he went in division to the worst team there. . . Without someone to protect him, Werth may not do well. I guess they had all that Dunn money.

$18 mill a year for 7 years is a lot. Can't blame Werth for taking it and can't blame the Phils for not taking it.

Crawford and his agent must be laughing.

Gonzalez and his agent must be laughing. Maybe this will get a last minute deal done

Re: 7 years $126M to the Nationals...NOT WERTH IT!

Nats overpaid to try to gain market respectability. Overpaying on Werth is much worse than just plain overpaying IMO.

I guess they aren't going after Pena.

You spelled it wrong, I fixed it for you.

Way to go Nats.
You ruined it for everyone. :lol:

What kind of insane contract is Crawford going to be demanding now?
