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.
