誰能想得到，Jayson Werth的爭奪戰，竟然半路殺出個國民隊

而且一簽還是簽七年合約！！喔買聖母瑪麗蓮夢露啊！！

看來國民的老闆很有錢的，只是經營投資的方向似乎有點錯誤罷了...

 

紅襪的目標Jayson Werth不見了，

這意味著我們得集中火力在Carl Crawford上面了，

我很怕Crawford會因Werth的簽約，在紅襪隊別無選擇的情況下

就此獅子大開口，要個一年2000萬的合約，

要是這樣我就真的很冏了...

我的想法是1500萬~1800萬給Crawford的年薪是最高底限，

但我還是想要我的Jayson Werth啊...

Scott Boras landed Jayson Werth a nine-figure contract with a surprise suitor this afternoon. The Nationals signed the free agent outfielder to a seven-year, $126MM deal. In case any doubt remained, this deal shows that it's a good time to be a free agent. Werth turned three productive seasons into the third biggest deal a free agent outfielder has ever signed.

 

Manny Ramirez ($160MM, 2000) and Alfonso Soriano ($136MM, 2006) are the only outfielders to sign bigger deals than Werth's. Interestingly, Vernon Wells and Barry Zito both signed deals worth exactly as much as the one Boras just negotiated with the Nationals.

 

The Phillies offered Werth, a Type A free agent, arbitration, but will not receive the Nats' first-round pick as compensation because Washington's pick is protected. Philadelphia will instead receive the Nats' second-round pick and and a compensatory sandwich-round pick.

 

Nationals GM Mike Rizzo appears to have a strong relationship with Boras. The two worked out deals for number one overall selections Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper in 2009 and 2010.

 

It was said earlier this week that the most serious suitors for the 31-year-old were the Phillies, Tigers, and Red Sox.  Those three teams were all in on Werth up until the end, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.  Ultimately, Boston offered just four years, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.  Things have not gone Boston's way this afternoon as the club was unable to reach agreement on a contract extension with Adrian Gonzalez just hours ago.

 

MLB.com's Todd Zolecki first reported that the two sides were nearing agreement.  Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter) confirmed the deal, Jon Heyman of SI (via Twitter) first reported the length of the contract and Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports reported the deal's terms (via Twitter).
