In discussions with Scott Eyre's agent, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. isn't convinced that the 37-year-old southpaw won't sign elsewhere.
Eyre has previously expressed that he would play for the Phillies next season or retire, but Amaro isn't so sure. "I’ve heard that noise before, and I’ve seen guys play a long time after the statement is made," Amaro said. "The almighty dollar always speaks the loudest. Just like in any negotiation, it takes two to tango. We may have a difference of opinion in terms of the value. If that’s the case, and someone else views him at a higher value, we may risk losing him." Eyre recently underwent minor surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow after managing a 1.50 ERA in 30 innings in 2009. Source: The News Journal
