Right fielder Jayson Werth agreed Sunday to a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals, a huge deal announced even before the winter meetings officially began.

The 31-year-old, who helped the Phillies win the 2008 World Series title, hit .296 this year in his fourth and final season with the Phillies.

The Philadelphia Phillies are the NL East champions for the fourth consecutive year and, fittingly, Roy Halladay helped seal the deal this time with a two-hitter.

Halladay earned his 21st win with his fourth shutout and ninth complete game -- all highs in the majors this season -- and Jayson Werth drove in four runs, leading the Phillies to a 8-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday...

The Phils are looking to unload Jayson Werth and acquire the Astros' Roy Oswalt, but it appears they'll need to involve a third team in the talks.

Jon Heyman explains this and more.

The Phillies are headed back to the World Series. Behind homers from Pedro Feliz, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth, they hammered the Dodgers 10-4 to win the NLCS in five games.

The Dodgers are just trying to stay alive, while the Phillies are eyeing a return trip to the World Series.

Jayson Werth and Pedro Feliz homered as Philly leads Game 4 of the NLCS 4-2.

Cliff Lee dominated the Dodgers, Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth provided the big swings early and the Philadelphia Phillies cruised past Los Angeles 11-0 Sunday night for a 2-1 lead in the NL championship series.
