Jayson Werth News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jayson Werth will remain in the Mariners organization after the team extended his opt-out date due to Werth dealing with a hamstring injury. Werth is currently playing for Triple-A Tacoma in hopes of making it back to the big leagues at some point. Due to the injury, the Mariners have decided to extend his deal to give him a longer look. Werth, who has 229 career home runs, is hitting only .219 with four home runs and 15 runs batted in through 96 at-bats in the minors this season.
The Seattle Mariners are signing free-agent outfielder Jayson Werth to a minor league deal on Tuesday. He will stay in extended spring training a while to get in shape before joining Triple-A Tacoma. The grizzled veteran saw very little interest on the open market over the winter after being injured for much of last season and playing in just 70 games for the Nationals. He struggled by hitting .226/.322/.393 with 10 homers and 29 RBI. He will be turning 39 this May and is unlikely to see much playing time for Seattle. He's only a consideration in deep AL-only leagues as bench depth.
Free-agent outfielder Jayson Werth has not garnered a lot of interest on the open market, but he told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that he thinks he has "a few good years left" as an everyday player. Werth appeared in only 70 games last season due to a left foot injury and slashed just .226/.322/.393 when healthy. He also struggled defensively. The veteran outfielder will turn 39 years old in May and won't be on the fantasy radar of those in standard leagues this year.
