Well, scrap my last idea. Looks like the Phillies may be closing in on a trade for veteran left-handed pitcher Ron Mahay of the Kansas City Royals, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.
According to clubs that have been speaking with the Royals, they’ve been having extensive conversations with the Phillies about a trade that would send Mahay to Philadelphia for shortstop prospect Jason Donald, a member of the U.S. Olympic baseball team.
Still all quiet on the Mets front to this point…
Update 1:45 p.m. ET – Stark has since edited his blog post, now saying that the Phillies are ‘not close’ to making a deal for the 37-year old lefty.
