Howard dismisses agent; Phils mull raise

Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard reportedly has dismissed his agent, Larry Reynolds.

The Phillies said Howard, the 2006 National League MVP, is looking for a new agent and has not yet informed the team who will represent him, the Philadelphia Daily News reported for Saturday editions.

Howard, who is eligible for arbitration after the 2007 season, made $355,000 last season, when he led the majors with 58 homers and 149 RBI.

"He's obviously due for a big raise," assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told the newspaper.

Amaro said the team has not yet decided how much of a raise to give Howard, top starting pitcher Brett Myers or second baseman Chase Utley. "We've got some ideas that we've kicked around internally," Amaro said.

Myers, Utley, relievers Geoff Geary and Ryan Madson and center fielder Aaron Rowand are all eligible to file for arbitration next month.

The Daily News said Howard and Reynolds did not return calls seeking comment.

Scott Boras will probably be his new agent 

[BigEd76]

He might join the agency used by Rollins and Pujols...

[ice grillin you]

if he continues to do what hes done his choice of agent is irrleveant...hes going to get gawd like money and the phillies either cake him off or lose him...the agent really will have little to do with this negotiation

[Geowhizzer]

Technically, the Phils don't have to pay Howard much of anything.  He's not eligible for arbitration.

However, this negotiations could be paramount in that it will set the tone for the next four years of bargaining, arbitration and eventual free agency.

Hopefully the "silent partners" don't piss the big guy off by going tightwad on him.

[ice grillin you]

if they are smart they will give him burrell like money right now and then down the road even more if he proves to be worth it

[MDS]

He wants a shteinload of money and he wants it now.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He deserves a shteinload of money and he deserves it yesterday.

Yes.
