Jayson Werth is in the final year of his contract and he’s looking to get paid. And why not? Werth was a late bloomer so he missed the chance to make real money earlier in his career. Given the past few seasons he’s had in Philadelphia, he’s in a good position to cash in this winter.
↵To help him with that, he’s hired super agent Scott Boras. Boras has handled the majority of the mega deals in baseball over the past several years.
↵Werth says for him the move was about having the best reputation he could get.
↵↵↵I know for me it’s just a matter of being comfortable with reputation and having a guy that I want to have representing me in this process.

With Boras’ reputation being a guy who doesn’t take a single cent below what he can get, Phils fans are certainly worried that his hire means the Phils will be priced out of Werth this winter.
