Now We See What Jayson Werth Was Really After
It wasn’t about winning a championship. Apparently, it wasn’t about winning anything. When Jayson Werth put his name on a contract from the Washington Nationals for seven years and $126 million ($18 million per season), it became painfully obvious what is important to Werth.
Money. Money, money, and more money.
Werth was out to make every penny he could, and I suppose he deserves some credit in that he did just that. He parlayed three above-average seasons into a contract that will overpay him for the rest of his career.
I understand Werth’s side of the deal. He wanted the money. But what could the Nationals be thinking? They took a guy who followed Chase Utley and Ryan Howard in the Philadelphia Phillies’ five hole and plan to make him their center-piece.
Good luck to them. They’re going to need it.
