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

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

    over 7 years

    baseball will be dead soon.

    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.

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

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

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

    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...

    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

    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

    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.
