The Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to the following trade:
Washington Nationals Get:
RF Jayson Werth (91)
Age: 30
Contract: Earning $7 million through 2010
Philadelphia Phillies Get:
1B/OF Adam Dunn (88)
Age: 30
Contract: Earning $12 million through 2010
The Nationals accept this deal since we need a true starting RF and strong bat to compliment Ryan Zimmerman in the lineup and Werth fits the bill here. In addition, we unload Dunn and his $12 million number.
