Ken Rosenthal tweeted saying that Michael Young will only go to the Rangers if he is traded. With Cody Asche coming up, we may be seeing Young move before game time tonight.
In an earlier post on the site, the possibility of the Phillies trading Cliff Lee to the Red Sox became more realistic. The catch was the White Sox were dangling their ace, Jake Peavy, on the market as a cheaper option for teams that didn't want to overpay for Lee. Now, Buster Olney is reporting […]
Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. So the Phillies are done. Like, majorly done. Done done. After finishing the first half at 48-48, and being in striking range of first place, they went 1-8 to start the second half on the road, and proved they were pretenders. After beating up on a mediocre pitcher in the […]
Jimmy Rollins made it clear after the Phillies' 12-4 loss on Sunday that despite the likeliness of the dismantling of his team, he won't be moved. "I'm not going anywhere," Rollins said to reporters this afternoon after being asked if he would consider waiving his no-trade clause to be traded to a contending team. Rollins, […]
Remember two weeks ago heading into the All-Star Break when it was determined that the games against St. Louis and Detroit would decide the Phillies' fate? Well, in five games against the two clubs, the team is 0-5. If that does not scream "time to sell" to Ruben Amaro and the rest of the front […]
Last night was a terrible loss, 10-0 if you will. Raul Valdes was creamed and Max Scherzer cruised his way to his 15th victory of the year. Losing their 7th straight game, the Phillies are now six games under .500 with three days left until the trade deadline. Losing the first two games of this […]
According to a report on Friday evening, the 76ers have gained permission to interview Trailblazers' assistant coach, David Vanterpool. Vanterpool has only been in Portland for one season, but his work with Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard has allowed his coaching stock to rise significantly. As he was once a professional guard himself, Vanterpool was given […]
As many could have predicted when the news that Cliff Lee wouldn't be starting tonight broke, the Phillies lost what was easily one of the least competitive game in MLB this season, falling 10-0 to the Detroit Tigers. Raul Valdes, starting in place of the injured Lee, was in trouble from the beginning. After retiring […]
The Phillies have lost six straight games and everything is looking more likely that the Phillies will sell before Wednesday's trade deadline. Last night the Phillies were only able to manage an unearned run against Doug Fister, who held them in check over eight innings. Cole Hamels was solid, allowing two runs over seven innings […]
In huge breaking news, Jeff Passan reports that the Phillies have outbid the Boston Red Sox for 26 year old Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez. A few weeks ago after it was reported that Gonzalez was cleared to sign with the MLB it was reported that the Phillies showed interest (My post from the 7/17). […]
