Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. shot down rumors that Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels were on the trading block (see story). The Phillies are open to dealing Domonic Brown for the right return and they are eager to move closer Jonathan Papelbon, who is owed $26 million the next two seasons.
The Phillies would have to eat some of Papelbon’s salary or attach him to a more coveted player if they were to find a taker.
Amaro does not talk about the specifics of potential trades, but he was asked, in general, if he would be willing to eat salary in a deal.
