LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Nationals put themselves back on the baseball map Sunday.
Sure, Washington overpaid for Jayson Werth, and it's still not certain whether he's a focal point or merely a very good complementary player. But by signing Werth for seven years and $126 million to play right field, the Nats got everyone's attention for something other than a Stephen Strasburg start.
"I think it's a big statement," general manager Mike Rizzo told FanHouse. "I think it's a big get. I think it says a lot that a player that had so many opportunities chose us to come to. It says a lot about ownership that gave us the resources to go out and get him."
Does this tell people the Nats are coming?
