Phillies looking to boslter rotation
According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, The Philadelphia Phillies have started to have dialogue with some teams about acquiring another starting pitcher. C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Bronson Arroyo and Jarrod Washburn are a few of the names that the Phillies have inquired about. They will also likely be making contact with the Mariners regarding Erik Bedard now that he has officially been put on the trading block.
The problem for the Phillies is that their minor league system isn't exactly the deepest in the league, and to acquire a front-of-the-rotation starter they would most likely have to give up two of their best pitching prospects in Carlos Carrasco and Antonio Bastardo. The question is whether or not the Phillies want to just go for it this year and deplete their farm system, or try to make a run with what they have.
