Jonathan Papelbon, the Phillies franchise leader in saves, has not been shy about wanting to be traded. At All-Star media day this week, Papelbon said the Phillies need to "you-know-what or get off the pot" referring to the front office. The Phillies closer went on to say the Phillies need to make a decision rather than stay in limbo through all of these changes, including the addition of Andy MacPhail to the front office.
