Tired of hearing about Jayson Werth? Well, I’m not tired of writing about him just yet! In a stunning report out of Philadelphia’s 97.5 The Fanatic, Jayson Werth may be on his way back to Philadelphia for another run. Multiple reports supported this notion, in fact.
Not so fast yet my dear Philly phaithful. This isn’t certain, but remains likely. The Phillies “reportedly” offered Werth a three year, $55 million deal. This is a significant increase from their original offer and apparently works for Werth and super-agent Scott Boras, who may not have seen the right things thus far in free agency.
Werth crawling back to the Phillies tells me quite a few things:
1.) Maybe he’s not as money-hungry as we thought (the guy will still be making about $18 million a year, give me a break.)
2.) Ruben Amaro Jr. is one crafty bastard (I told you guys all along that RAJ is a genius).
Here are a few reasons why we were wrong about Jayson Werth and we’re…sorry.
