Good evening DoD readers, and welcome to today’s District Daily. Get caught up on the latest Nats news and opinions with some great Washington Nationals articles from around the web below.
We start off today’s Daily with some interesting insight about Jayson Werth’s contract, courtesy of Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal. As Rosenthal writes in his notes column below, Werth amended his original 7 year, $126 million deal last fall to defer $10 million of his 2016 salary to 2018. The money, according to Rosenthal, will be paid at 5 percent interest.
While Werth’s original contract did not include deferments, it’s not surprising that the veteran outfielder allowed the Nationals to amend his deal.
