Pretty much everyone knows about the two gems of this year’s free agency period, Cliff Lee and Carl Crawford. Even though the pool is relatively weak this year, there are other big names out there. One of the most notable is Phillies right fielder Jayson Werth.
Werth had a career year this past season, hitting .296 with 27 home runs, 85 RBI, and a league-high 46 doubles, en route to an eighth-place finish in MVP voting. As such, there are many that could use his bat in the lineup.
Which teams have the best chance to land him and who is the front runner?
Good chances: Giants, Angels, Phillies, Tigers, Red Sox
