The Jayson Werth era in Philadelphia now over...

Rumor has it the Nats are interested in Cliff Lee as well.

as a rangers fan they can have him. I wouldnt give him 6 plus years for anything.,

the nats are mimicking the old rangers and dodgers. hand out big contracts like candy and watch them implode usually to boras clients. the rangers had chan ho park and kevin millwood and arod. the dodgers had drefoit, kevin brown and sheffield. the common theme was these deals benefitted noone but the players and their agents.

They want to put fans in the seats, so they can cash in on revenue.

Just can't see people flocking to the stadium to see Werth.

Can anyone say....

OVER-RATED!

He will be to the Nats as AJ Burnett is with the Yanks!

No not Jayson, but I think the Nats are desperate for talent so they can have a winning record and to Show that they are trying to better the team. That will hopefully, for them but fans in the stands. I don't really think Jayson was the wise investment though.

7 years is about 3 years too much
I think he is "werth" 18M per if it was a 3 or 4 year deal. He can play.

I think whoever signs Lee will be making more of a boneheaded move actually.

I was hoping the Phillies would have signed Diaz or Francouer - those are "Werth type" players waiting to happen imo.

I like Diaz, but Francoeur is what you see. He is a great guy, but I think his "superstar" days are long gone. He really works hard and is a supposedly a great teammate, but if he doesn't change something in his approach and swing he won't be starting much.
