The Phillies have avoided arbitration with outfielder Jayson Werth by signing him to a multiyear deal. SI.com's Jon Heyman reports its'a a two-year deal for $10 million. Werth will get $3 million in '09 and $7 million in '10, which would've been his first free agent year.
The Phils also agreed to terms with pitcher Chad Durbin on a one-year, 1.65 million dollar contract.
Ryan Howard is the only left facing arbitration. Howard has asked for $18 million while the Phillies countered with a $14 million dollar offer.
