 More Phillies NewsPhillies LinksIf the Phillies are to land a starter, Pat Gillick said, a trade is more likely than a free-agent signing. Florida's Dontrelle Willis and the Chicago White Sox' Jon Garland head the list of starters who could be traded this winter. The White Sox also could deal Jose Contreras, though he's owed $20 million through 2009 and had a 5.57 ERA in 2007. Oakland could move Rich Harden, but he missed much of 2007 with a shoulder strain, and that could affect any interest the Phils might have - especially after the Freddy Garcia debacle. The Minnesota Twins could deal ace Johan Santana - if they are blown away by an offer. Unfortunately for the Phillies, their farm system is widely depleted. |
