LHP Scott Eyre has said publicly that he either will play for the Phillies next season or retire. But Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. is unconvinced that the 37-year-old left-hander won't entertain going elsewhere. "I've heard that noise before, and I've seen guys play a long time after the statement is made," Amaro said. "Like 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 made $2 million last season. Amaro was satisfied with the results of the arthroscopic surgery to remove a "loose body" from Eyre's left elbow.
