Jayson Werth is in it for the long haul with the Washington Nationals. The right fielder’s seven-year, 6 million contract with Washington includes a full no-trade clause, and an optimistic-sounding Werth repeatedly spoke Wednesday about helping turn the team around. He will be 38 when this contract ends, and he mentioned playing into his 40′s
