Where will Jayson Werth land, assuming he is not coming back to the Washington Nationals?

When the seventh year of Jayson Werth’s 7-year/$126M contract with the Washington Nationals came to an abrupt end with a disappointing loss to the Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the NLDS this past October, the veteran outfielder wasn’t sure what the future held, but he talked about the changes he saw in the nation’s capital over the course of his deal.

“I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished here obviously,” Werth told reporters.

“And this place has come a long way in seven years. No regrets. We gave it all we had. I know I gave it everything I had, left it all out there, I’m proud to call myself a National, and before I came here, I don’t know if anybody would have said that, you know.”

“I don’t know what the future holds,” the 38-year-old, 15-year veteran continued. “I haven’t given it much thought at any point this season.”

Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo told reporters at the GM’s Meetings in November, as quoted by Washington Post writer Jorge Castillo, that he wasn’t ruling out Werth returning to the Nats, but he noted that nothing had been discussed.

“We haven’t really discussed that or gone down that road yet,” Rizzo explained.

“But I wouldn’t close the door on it. I’ll leave it at that...[It’d] have to fit into what we want to do but I wouldn’t close the door on it.”

With an outfield that, barring injuries, is expected to have Adam Eaton in left, Michael A. Taylor in center, and Bryce Harper in right field, and outfielders like Brian Goodwin, Andrew Stevenson, Victor Robles, Rafael Bautista and more in the mix for bench roles, where Werth would fit in that mix is unclear. There doesn’t seem to be room for an outfielder who still wants to play every day.

And as the veteran outfielder told ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick yesterday, he still believes that he can contribute in an everyday role.

Over the final three seasons of his deal in D.C., Werth struggled to stay healthy, dealing with a variety of issues (including a wrist fracture in 2015 and a fracture in his foot last season, that to be fair, were random rather than chronic injuries).

He up a combined .233/.322/.402 line with 54 doubles and 43 homers over 301 games and 1,273 plate appearances over that stretch.

Will he find an everyday job at this point in his career? Will someone take a chance and give him a DH job in the AL?

If you had to guess, where do you think the outfielder will land this winter, or do you think his playing days have come to an end?
