Jenkins set to join Phillies - Brewers Blog

Quote:

Outfielder Geoff Jenkins, whose $9 million option for 2008 was not picked up for the Brewers, has landed on his feet quite nicely.

The Philadelphia Phillies are expected to announce this afternoon they have reached agreement on a two-year deal with Jenkins worth about $13 million. The deal includes a third-year vesting option based on plate appearances that could increase Jenkins' total package to $20 million..

The Phillies, who lost Aaron Rowand to San Francisco through free agency and sent Michael Bourn to Houston in a trade for closer Brad Lidge in November, have been looking for a left-handed bat to share time with Jayson Werth in right field.

It's good to see that Jenkins was able to land on another very good team that gives him the chance at the Playoffs so the Brewers fail to do in his time here.
