He will be missed.
Jon Morosi from FOX Sports is reporting that Juan Pierre has cleared waivers.
#Phillies OF Juan Pierre has cleared trade waivers, source tells FOXSports.com. Could be dealt by midnight tonight.

Why is midnight tonight relevant? Pierre will be able to play in the postseason if he's traded by then. Because he's useful to a potential contender, there's a decent chance he'll be dealt.
Pierre, 35, is batting .300 for the Phillies with 32 stolen bases and 22 RBI, but's his .343 on-base percentage that likely makes him attractive to other teams.
Stay tuned.
