ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Jayson Werth has called it a career.
“I’m done … whatever you want to call it,” Werth told the website Fancred Sports after a futile and injury-filled stint this season with the Seattle Mariners Class AAA club in Tacoma.
It’s been a complicated career — particularly here in Washington — where his value can’t be measured simply by numbers, at least not by the $126 million the Nationals paid Werth starting in 2010 over seven years.
That’s a contract that you would have a hard time justifying in today’s game, where value is only measured by numbers.
