The Phillies, fresh off of their World Series loss to the Yankees, have decided that they will not retain the services of Brett Myers.
Brett Myers Will Not Be A Phillie Next Year
From the Philadelphia Inquirer’s report:
“I officially won’t be a Phillie next year,” the 29-year-old pitcher told The Inquirer this afternoon. In a meeting with general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., today, Myers was told that the team will not attempt to negotiate a new contract with him this offseason. Myers contract expired after the World Series. He said he will file for free agency today.
Myers, the Phillies top draft pick in 1999, and has been with the team ever since, owned a 73-63 record with a 4.40 ERA in 240 games.
“The last two years, going to the World Series and all, have been exciting,” he said. “Other than that, I’m disappointed with how I did the last few years. My last three years weren’t as productive as I would have liked.”
Myers is open to working as a starter or a reliever with a new team.
“I’ll just go out there on the market and see what happens, dude,” he said.
