Jayson Werth signs with.... the NATS!

[dagger]

Sources said on Sunday afternoon that Werth's agent Scott Boras was close to a deal with the Washington Nationals on a multiyear contract. Terms of the deal were unclear, but the Nationals figure to have money to spend after losing free agent Adam Dunn to the Chicago White Sox. Werth would help replace Dunn's bat in the middle of the Nats' lineup.
