Buried in this morning's Ken Rosenthal report which pretty much bashed the Miami Marlins for their team construction and now demolition, was this quick blurb on Hunter Pence: The Phillies continue to signal to clubs that they are eager to move right fielder Hunter Pence, who could earn $13 million to $14 million next season […]
Look almost anywhere sports-related online that the Atlanta Braves have acquired Cubs RHP Ryan Dempster in a trade. In fact, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that the deal is done: Ryan Dempster, on the other hand. Says that there is no trade and he "does not know where it's coming from": The Braves and […]
This isn't happening in 2012. Sell. With their 12 inning win over the Giants in game three on Sunday, the Phillies salvaged a game in the series with the NL West leaders. This means the Phillies are 5-4 since the All-Star break, despite not really having a lot of time with all their big guys […]
We have spent so much time talking about Cole Hamels, maybe we have failed to consider another starter the Phillies could trade: Cliff Lee. CBS's Danny Knobler reported today that while the Texas Rangers really want Cole Hamels or Zack Greinke, Cliff Lee could be on their radar again. Jim Salisbury of CSN reports that […]
Last week I broke down the value of Shane Victorino on a trade, and where he could go. I determined the Dodgers, Yankees, Pirates, Reds, Tigers, and Indians were potential buyers. I said the Dodgers were the most likely trade partner, but that I'd like to move with the Yankees. Tonight we move to the […]
While the Phillies may be preparing a large offer for Cole Hamels, other teams salivate on the sidelines, hoping that he may be available. They are also apparently doing their homework for potential trades. CSNPhilly's Jim Salisbury reports that the Angels, Dodgers, and Rangers are all scouting Cole Hamels' start today in Denver. While […]
A Phillies.com post last night reported some trade interest in Placido Polanco, namely from the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles likely would be interested in Polanco as a second baseman, since Robert Andino is hitting just .182. The Orioles would continue to be a good trade partner for the Phillies as Phillies Director of Player Development […]
I want to start by making mention of something: Shane Victorino has been a really good Phillie. He is not a Hall-of-Famer, sure, but he was a major, major part of the best run in team history. He was an almost symbolic part of them bullying the Mets out of the way, and taking over […]
The Miami Marlins may be in fourth place and will be just two games ahead of the cellar-dwelling Phillies, but they appear to be adding in hopes of turning their season around. According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the Marlins have traded for Astros OF/1B/should-be-DH Carlos Lee. The Marlins had such poor production from first […]
Yesterday Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro went on a media spree, appearing with Mike Missanelli on 97.5 the Fanatic, 94WIP with Glen Macnow and Dan Klecko, and meeting with reporters to try to calm the Cole Hamels trade rumor storm. "Mike, I'm doing great, but our team is terrible right now," Amaro opened his conversation […]
