The Phillies tried to trade Jonathan Papelbon during the 2013 season. The Phillies tried to trade Papelbon during the 2014 season. Now, during this offseason, the Phillies are trying again to move him. Reports seem to indicate that teams simply are not interested. Maybe Papelbon knows something the Phillies don't, because he is reportedly selling his Rittenhouse Square home.
Philadelphia Magazine reports:
Despite the lack of interest from other teams, Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon is apparently optimistic about being traded. He’s put his unit at the ultraluxury 1706 Rittenhouse on the market and has Kelly Pendino Betley, a realtor who works with athletes like LeSean McCoy, Cliff Lee and Mark Streit, handling the property.
All the units at 1706 are full-floor units with terraces that have fantastic views. Private elevators lead directly into the units, and there’s an automated parking system that allows residents to swipe a fob on the way down and have their car waiting when they get to the lobby.
Papelbon's condo is 4200 square feet and is listed for $6.9 million, says the article.
1706 Rittenhouse is also well-known for their fancy parking garage:
