Amaro: Trade A Definite Possibility

Ruben Amaro Jr. told Paul Hagen the Phillies will may seek a trade if they’re going to add to their roster:

“We’ve tried to stay on this thing. There are a few guys, but [the market] is not chock-full of guys that we would consider, either. We may have to improve through trades, if we can.”

It seems that’s what they’re going to do. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a trade for a Jermaine Dye or Magglio Ordonez, especially as the Phils can dangle Jason Donald, or even Lou Marson or JA Happ.

Some other names, just to think out loud: Coco Crisp, Eric Brynes.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
