The Phillies want to deepen their bullpen on the back end as right now, it looks like David Hernandez is the default closer. "I know!" someone shouted in the Phillies front office, "let's sign Jonathan Papelbon!"
After hours of work, the crew realized that despite all the obvious benefits of reacquiring a violent millionaire, Papelbon simply does not want to play for the Phillies again (or 16 other teams). Darn. Well, looks like it's on to plan B--if we're sure Papelbon isn't interested. We're sure? We called him? He didn't answer?
