Former Reds closer Ryan Madson (can we call him that?) has agreed to terms with a new team: the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, writes ESPN writer Jerry Crasnick. The move means the Phillies must continue to look for eighth inning help. The report does not have the terms of the deal. What the Phillies […]
An interesting blurb in Todd Zolecki's column on Phillies.com tonight: the Phillies were interested in a reunion with former set-up man Ryan Madson. However, the reunion is looking less and less likely. Madson, who never threw a pitch in 2012 and is a free agent, appears to be headed elsewhere: The Phillies had […]
We should know the fate of free agent center fielder B.J. Upton soon. Jim Bowden of ESPN and Sirius XM Radio reports that the Phillies, Braves, and a "mystery team" are all aggressively competing for Upton's services: Bowden also says that the Braves have a "slight lead" for Upton's services. At least we know for […]
The Phillies have made a signing, and it's a third baseman. However, he is not likely the solution. Today the Phillies signed third baseman Josh Fields to a minor league contract. Once a top prospect, Fields will likely go into Spring Training along the lines of the many minor league infielders the Phillies have […]

The Yankees cut David Herndon from their 40-man roster. Then, the Yankees signed David Herndon. Huh? Okay, they had a good reason. But, I think the Phillies would have taken this approach with Herndon and kept him in the organization for depth if they had the chance. This is how it worked. The Yankees, like […]

The four are RHP Trevor May, RHP Jonathan Pettibone, OF Zach Collier, and RHP Ethan Martin. The move keeps other teams from claiming them in the upcoming Rule 5 draft. […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/ Frank Klose When it did not work for the Phillies and then the Blue Jays, who thought it would work this time? The New York Yankees attempted to outright right-handed reliever David Herndon to AAA. For the first time of the three attempts, Herndon cleared waivers. Yes, every team passed on claiming […]
"I thought you were 50 five years ago!" ~Chase Utley Today is Jamie Moyer's 50th birthday. He always wanted to pitch until he is 50 and still has not officially retired, so I would not count him out from spending Spring Training with somebody. Check out this really neat video from the Moyer Foundation with […]
Your browser does not support iframes. Giancarlo Stanton is pissed off. And why wouldn't he? A rising star that was part of the new Miami Marlins, he finds himself surrounded by a bunch of rookies. This is a demoralizing blow to the budding superstar. But, by making the major league minimum on a frugal […]
