The Crawford Sweepstakes Just Got More Interesting

If this day wasn't weird enough, Jayson Werth, who looked a sure bet to call Boston his new home for 2011, signed with the Washington Nationals.

The Nationals? Where the hell did they come from in this?

Werth is signing a seven-year deal for $126 million, and from this post, it sounds like he didn't talk money with the Sox earlier this week. Strange to see a Dr. Evil (Scott Boras) client sign so quickly, and before the Winter Meetings.

I would now guess the Red Sox will put the full court press on Carl Crawford. Or will they???
