cooperating to make that happen. I’m doing everything I can.”
The Nationals have had a two-year offer on the table for
LaRoche throughout the offseason, but the veteran is seeking a three-year commitment.

Werth's beard appears to be in mid-season form, but the paunch seems to be in perfect post-Christmas form. One explanation: Werth spent the month of December working as a mall Santa?
