Hunter Pence has been mentioned in trade rumors, but insists he was previously unaware that he may be moved. "Are there rumors?" Pence said. "I don't even know." A report on Tuesday indicated that Philadelphia was "eager" to trade Pence, who they acquired at the trade deadline in 2011. He admitted that trade rumors bothered him last year. "It did last year. Not much this year," Pence said. "So, like I said, today is the first day I've heard of it, so it hasn't really sunk in or anything. Like I said, I'm happy to be here and I'm looking forward to playing today, playing to win."
