Oswalt a Phillie by the weekend? thumbnail

If Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci is right, the Phillies will have the best 1-2 punch in baseball by the weekend.

The veteran baseball writer appeared on the Dan Patrick Show today and said:

“I wouldn’t be shocked to see Oswalt pitching this weekend for Philadelphia,” Verducci said. Verducci said although it’s not Oswalt’s first choice, he wants to go to a contender. Verducci explained there are some money issues, but they should figure them out.

You can read the full article on Dan Patrick’s web page.

It’s hard to take too much stock in what Verducci is saying because it sounds more like a guess than a source of information, but this is something that would bring a smile to Phillies fans – even at the price of depleting the system a little more. With just four days until the trading deadline Oswalt is the hottest name left on the market and the Phillies have been mentioned with him for a couple of weeks now.
It should be fun seeing how this all unfolds.

    i think it all comes down to if they can get good enough prospects for Werth. Then trade those prospects to houston with Happ for Oswalt. That was the talk on 610 today.

    I’ve heard fans say they don’t want to see Happ traded in this deal because he is young and had a great year last season, but I would give him up in a heartbeat for a proven winner.

    problem on the horizon. If Victoriono has a strained calf mussel and goes on the DL. Worth is your center fielder and the trade will not be made.
