The first major free agent domino fell on Sunday afternoon as Jayson Werth and the Washington Nationals (?) agreed to a seven-year, $126 million contract ($18 million per season). Mr. Werth has never driven in 100 RBIs nor hit over .300 during his career. In fact, he has only topped 30 HRs once (2009). But hey, the dude got paid. Can’t be mad at him. However, the rest of baseball can basically thank the Washington Nationals for inflating the 2010-2011 free agent market. It’s time to watch Carl Crawford and Cliff Lee get PAID.
$126 Million For the Wolfman? Really?
