No Chance The Phillies Re-Sign Jayson Werth. None. Zero.
Those the words of Jayson Stark's source: [ESPN.com]
Here's one Phillies source on the odds of his team finding a way to keep Jayson Werth: "No chance. None. Zero." In the end, it might not even be the annual dollars that will force the Phillies to move on. It's their unwillingness to go beyond three or four years for a player who will turn 32 next May.
Other options for the Phillies? Stark talks about a possible platoon with Ben Francisco and Domonic Brown (uhh). And another name you might be familiar with:
But the Phillies would still shop for another right-handed-hitting outfield bat. One name we've heard a lot: Jeff Francoeur, who has told friends he'd love to play for Charlie Manuel.
The grass is not greener on the other side, folks.
