Jonathan Papelbon has seemingly wanted out of Philadelphia since the day he signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the team after the 2011 season. While speaking at the site of the MLB All-Star Game on Monday, the 34-year-old reiterated that he wants to be traded.
When Papelbon was asked about wanting to play for another team, he indicated that he is tired of rumors swirling with nothing happening. Only, he didn’t exactly use those words.

Papelbon openly admitted last week that he wanted to be dealt to a winning team.
