Report: Amaro Talking To Madson, Werth About Deals

According to John Perrotto of Baseball Prospectus, Ruben Amaro Jr. has reached out to Ryan Madson and Jayson Werth to talk about contract extensions.

Of course, this was the topic of discussion earlier, as both are eligible for arbitration. I’ll reiterate — I’d like to see a little more of Werth as the everyday right fielder before locking him down. And while I like Madson, it’ll be difficult coming to terms with the Scott Boras client.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
