Phillies said no.”I can just picture the conversation.Ring, ring…Ruben Amaro: Hello?Rowand: Hey Rube, it’s me Aaron Rowand. I was just calling ‘cuz, well…okay, so you know I’m a free agent, right?Amaro: Indeed I do, Aaron.Rowand: Well I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to sign me to a major league deal?Amaro: ……………..no.
