But who are they giving up for him???

Three prospects plus a player to be named later.

Well interesting day so far. Lance Berkman to the Cardinals (he sucks now, have with that Cards fans), looks like Adrian Gonzalez isn't going to beantown after all, and perhaps the most stunning news is Jayson Werth appears to have signed with the Nats!

Color me surprised

Konerko will be with the Sox next year

Solid punch with him and Dunn hitting back to back. Their pen has taken a hit though, gonna need to work on that. This has actually been a really good winter meeting, it's getting me excited for baseball again!

Who else is surprised the Nats of all teams are spending money? First Werth and his mega deal (good move I think) and rumors floating around they offered Lee an even bigger contract than the Yankees!

Nats gave Werth a heck of a deal IMO. They are after Lee now? Yeah I am surprised.

They sure did. I think it was a big win for them, they over payed for sure, but it shows that they are serious about spending some money and improving their club. Reminds me a little of what Dombroski did with the tigers in 05-06, signing some big free agents, building some talent in the minors, and getting out of the basement. They probably won't get Lee, but the fact that they are trying is a good sign for Nats fans.

Nothing too major yesterday or today. Pena to the Cubs (with that amazing .196 BA lol), Frenchy to the Royals, Putz to the D-Backs, Olsen, Carrera, and Diaz to the Bucs.

Red Sox get Crawford.

[Bunker]

Concluding one of the most stunning weeks in team history, the Sox late last night agreed to a contract with free agent outfielder Carl Crawford, according to a source with knowledge of the discussions.

The deal is for seven years and $142 million. It was first reported by the Globe
