Reports: Jayson Werth Hires Scott Boras

Filed under: Phillies, MLB Rumors, MLB Hot Stove, MLB Free AgencyPhillies right fielder Jayson Werth, due to be a free agent at the conclusion of this season, has hired Scott Boras as his agent, according to multiple reports out of Philadelphia.

Werth, 31, recently left agent Jeff Borris in the midst of another outstanding season for the reigning National League champions.

The slugger is hitting .292 with 24 home runs, 76 RBI and a league-leading 44 doubles as the main right-handed power source in the Phillies' lineup.

Despite that, Werth was the subject of a number of trade rumors this July as Philadelphia sought starting pitching help. It eventually landed Roy Oswalt without having to trade him, but perhaps the hopelessness of working out a contract extension because of Werth's demands motivated the Phillies' front office to consider moving him. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
