I'm not saying someone internally with the Phillies didn't say it, hell for all we know they could have been talking Fantasy baseball or some groundskeeper thought it was a good idea, I'm saying it is not a story. If he heard both teams discussed it then it is a story but that isn't what happened. Unless the Phillies threw in their best prospects anyone with any sense would know this trade would make zero sense for the Cardinals. I guess this is the Entertainment part of ESPN. I doubt the Cardinals will resign Carpenter or Lohse when they are up. Maybe because I live in STL but for awhile the talk has been the Cardinals are prepared and have been for awhile to resign Pujols when he is up and signing Holliday was a part of the plan to keep Pujols. The team could spend a lot more money then they do.
