The deal is done. After time to mull it over, Michael Young has accepted the trade to Philadelphia and will be the Phillies' starting third baseman. The cost: relief pitcher Josh Lindbloom and minor league pitcher Lisalberto Bonilla, reports CSNPhilly's Jim Salisbury. The Phillies acquired Lindblom at the trade deadline from the Los Angeles Dodgers […]
Finally we will have resolution on the Michael Young situation. According to T.R. Sullivan, best-known by Phillies fans as the one who first reported that Cliff Lee had chosen to re-sign with the Phillies, the Phillies and Texas Rangers' trade for Rangers utility player Michael Young is "ready to go down".

The Phillies missed out on Denard Span from the Minnesota Twins, but they may acquire their centerfielder from Twins after all.

Messing with Wikipedia pages seems like a pasttime for Phillies fans (remember Hunter Pence before the Phillies acquired him?) Here is the Josh Hamilton page, as of 12/5/2012 at 10:09 p.m.: Whoever posted this is bad at grammar AND bad at math. 5 years/$135 million would be $27/million per year. It says that the contract […]
Could former shaving foes become friends? Interesting tweet this morning from one one of my favorite local bloggers today, John Stolnis: Why has there been absolutely no connection between Swisher and the Phillies? Is it the draft pick? — John Stolnis (@FelskeFiles) December 5, 2012 Just several hours later from Jim Bowden: […]
Consider me surprised to hear this news: Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com reports that the Phillies have "expressed interest" in former Phillies outfielder and 2012 postseason hero Raul Ibañez: Could #Yankees lose on Ibanez too? Source says #Mariners, #Rangers, #Phillies all have expressed interest. — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 5, 2012 I'm surprised because […]
