Werth to Nats for 7 yrs/134 mil

[tripleblack1705]

wow this will be a horrible deal, 7 years for this guy? At age 31?? They are desperate now that Dunn left.

[iifold]

Bad signing..

[dwaechte]

Preposterous deal.

[FrozenMAN]

same thing i said when i saw this......$134 for that bum LOL wow......pujols should easily get $300+ now

[Arsenal]

I read 7 years 126 million but either number is a total joke. This was a terrible deal by Washington.

[brxbmbers42]

wow. cant wait till he hits .250 with 14 homers in 2014 and they are paying him 19 mill.

[LordVodka]

What the ****? This is why the Nats organization sucks ass. What the **** kinda deal is this.

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

BEST-PLAYER-IN-BASEBALL.

[crustyme]

good.

now he can quit the wwe and concentrate on baseball.

[fsugolf]

mbn to be overpaid

[gryfyn1]

Astonishingly bad deal!!!

Quick note, the last two players who also received 7 year 126M contracts?

Vernon Wells, Barry Zito -- Yikes --

[brxbmbers42]

wonder if he will continue banging utley's wife

[Bluehorseshoe]

How does he get that kind of money??? That's insane!!!

[sportsfun]

boras does it again. Not sure how he gets these deals for his clients. Are Nats sane?

[ProfaneReality]

So, hitting .270 and about 30 HRs is "Werth" 136 million

over 7 years

baseball will be dead soon.

[Doc JS]

folks been saying that since Babe Ruth was making more than the President...

not saying it couldn't eventually happen...just saying it hasn't happened yet.

[stealthyburrito]

i can't believe the nats handed out that kind of money to this second tier outfielder.

power numbers were a product of his ballpark.

[13th Inning]

Carl Crawford is probably throwing a party right now - he suddenly saw his value jump significantly.

[Extra Innings]

All about marketing....Derek is nothing without the Yankees....

Likewise, I think the fans would be sad to see him go.

[ProfaneReality]

small market teams should just fold up and leave town if 2nd and 3rd tier guys like Werth and Tulowitzki are getting 140 million

[pavyracer]

It will be hard to sell tickets with inflated prices in this down economy.

[LLXC]

Haha Werth...might as well have broken bank for Crawford.

[Doc JS]

small market teams should just fold up and leave town if 2nd and 3rd tier guys like Werth and Tulowitzki are getting 140 million

If you think Tulo is a "second and third tier guy" you are mistaken...

2010 Gold Glove winner and finished 5th in the NL MVP race...

Doc

[ballahollic2]

Agreed Crawford just saw his salary go wayyyyyyyy up. Way to much money for Werth! Look at Aaron Rowand didn't he get like 70 something million? Thats a joke wtf did he do over an extended period of time to get that

[daneblazer]

They actually thought they were signing Edge from the WWE. Honest mistake by the Nationals

[Shonner]

Horrible signing

[ProfaneReality]

what odds could you have gotten on this guy getting 18 mil a year?

[big joe 1212]

and he hits those homers in a small ball park

[tripleblack1705]

Wow, the Brewers just landed Shaun Marcum, nice move!

[DODGERBLUES24]

Jason Werthless $126 million wow! horrible horrible deal

[ehp6737]

By the 4th year of this deal they'll have to throw him in jail for grand larceny. Cause he'll basically be stealing moeny from the Nats by then

[mr. leisure]

Frickin nats ae going to be sorry

[unusialsusp5]

they're planning to contend believe it or not and they needed the bat desparately apparently. someone has the money to throw out there so let them. is werth worth it. he can get 30-100 maybe.

[Mikail]

Regardless of whether he is worth that kind of money, he will definitely be a good addition to the Nats. I personally think all these athletes are grossly overpaid.

[pozzy]

Wow what a great deal... NOT!!! lmao
