Jayson Werth, a key member of the 2008 Phillies’ World Series team and a member of the 2009 National League champs, is officially calling it quits.
He announced his retirement — well, sort of — in an interview with Fancred Sports on Wednesday.
“I’m done … whatever you want to call it,” the 39-year-old outfielder told reporter Jon Heyman via phone.
Werth left the Washington Nationals at the end of the 2017 season and signed a contract with the Seattle Mariners. He began the 2018 season with triple-A Tacoma and struggled with hamstring injuries.
