This offseason we will be closely monitoring Jayson Werth's free agency. Some potential good news is that according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, the New York Yankees are focused on acquiring pitching, particularly Cliff Lee, and are not planning on pursuing Jayson Werth. With the Yankees supposedly out of the picture, the biggest threat to watch for appears to be the Boston Red Sox, who are hoping to land either Werth or Tampa's Carl Crawford to bolster their outfield. Crawford is said to be the principle target of both the Red Sox and Angels.
From the Phillies' perspective, we must hope for the Red Sox to sign Crawford, as it is unlikely the Phillies would outbid the kind of offer Boston would likely make. If the Yankees and Red Sox were both uninvolved, one would hope that Werth would care enough about winning to stay in Philadelphia.
