Hunter Pence Trade Rumors: Latest on Possible Deadline Deals
The Philadelphia Phillies are finally coming to terms with their lost 2012 season and are ready to sell some of their best players for the right price.
Hunter Pence was traded to the City of Brotherly Love almost a year ago to the day (July 31, 2011), in a deal that sent two highly rated prospects (Jarred Cosart, Jonathan Singleton) to the Houston Astros. Another World Series run was the goal.
Now, the plan has changed and the Sporting News is reporting that a slew of Phillies are available including the 29-year-old Pence.
Time is running out with Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline quickly approaching, and there has been plenty of interest in Pence.
Here’s the latest involving one of the top hitters available on the market.
