I don't know that much about the Phillies, but that won't stop me from making a comment

I know Werth is a FA at the end of the year.

Why in the world would the Phils want to trade Werth to one of their opponents (like the Reds). Sure, he's a pending FA, but they aren't likely to trade him unless they get something that could really help them this year (which would likely cripple the Reds' chances if they gave it up).. the Phils are going for it too.

That's like a Phillie fan hoping the Reds trade Rhodes or Arroyo to their team, since they are near the end of their contracts.
