PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Jayson Werth told Fancred Sports on Wednesday that he is calling it a career after more than a decade of playing in the MLB.
During his MLB career, Werth slammed 229 home runs and 799 RBI in 1,583 games as helped the Phillies win the World Series in 2008.
The bearded outfielder made his retirement announcement as he was on the seven-day disabled list of the Triple-A club Tacoma Rainiers.
Werth told FanCred that he was certain his final time playing professional baseball was the game against Nashville on June 8.
