Phils In Hot Pursuit Of Holliday

SI.com’s Jon Heyman just reported on WFAN that the Philidelphia Phillies are the most aggressive team in the hunt for Colorado Rockies All-Star OF Matt Holliday. Heyman did mentioned that the Mets are keeping tabs on the Holliday situation but they are way behind the pack of teams interested.

The Rockies surely would be interested in Phillies centerfielder Shane Victorino, but it isn’t known whether Philadelphia would consider moving him. The Phillies have several other well-regarded young players, including catcher Lou Marson, shortstop Jason Donald and pitcher Carlos Carrasco. Sources indicate that the Phillies have enough good young players to be able to do a deal for Holliday if the sides can agree.

I would love to see Holliday in NY. But with this being his walk year I would have to see what the Mets might have to part with first. Wow, Philly huh?! This is not good.
