Werth, who was playing for Triple-A Tacoma on a minor league deal with the
Mariners, told Fancred Sports' Jon Heyman as much in a phone call Wednesday.
"I'm done ... whatever you want to call it," said Werth, who injured his
hamstring in a minor league game in Nashville, Tenn. two weeks ago.
Werth was batting .206 with four home runs and 19 RBIs in 36 games with
Tacoma.
Werth, 39, became a free agent last November after completing a seven-year,
$126 million deal with the Washington Nationals.
Werth batted just .226 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 70 games in 2017.
In 15 big-league seasons, Werth has 229 homers and 799 RBIs along with a .267
average. He has played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers,
Philadelphia Phillies and Nationals.
Werth established career highs of 36 homers and 99 RBIs when he made his lone
National League All-Star team in 2009 as a member of the Phillies.
