Our @MattRappa made this image. Is it a sight you like? After the Yankees benched Alex Rodriguez yet again en route to a four-game sweep at the hands of the Detroit Tigers, trade speculation went rampant. First, there was a Keith Olbermann report that the Miami Marlins and Yankees were already talking about a possible […]
Juan Pierre survived the non-waiver trade deadline. Juan Pierre survived the waiver trade deadline. Any team acquiring Juan Pierre after that deadline would be unable to use him in the playoffs. But that has not stopped teams from being interested. Danny Knobler of CBS Sports reports that the Orioles "have some interest" in acquiring […]
Juan Pierre has been one of the Phillies' consistent hitters this year. His .312 batting average is second on the club and he has stolen 27 bases. For a contending club, he would be a nice piece the team can use at the top of the order. However, the Phillies should let him go. This […]

The Phillies placed lefthanded starter Cliff Lee on waivers today, reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. Lee is expected to clear on Friday, at which point he will be eligible to be traded.

This one comes out of San Francisco. Dennis O'Donnell of KPIX-TV, a CBS station in San Francisco, reports that the San Francisco Giants and the Phillies are in "serious talks" regarding a Hunter Pence trade. The report offers no idea of who the Giants would offer in return. The Giants have two top outfield prospects, […]
It's a busy late Tuesday night. The Phillies' N.L. East rival the Miami Marlins continued their stunning sale of players late Tuesday night when they traded IF Hanley Ramirez and reliever Randy Choate to to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The move means the Marlins have given up on their re-tooled team that was supposed […]
