The Phillies apparently want free agent starting pitcher Patrick Corbin really, really, really badly.
Just a week after bringing him to Philadelphia for a meeting with the team, reports are the Phils are deadly serious about adding the 29-year-old left-hander.
The #Phillies are making it clear to marquee free-agent starter Patrick Corbin that they won't be out-bid, and teams still in the hunt for Corbin's services realize it, too.

In other words, if Corbin is dead set on playing for the New York Yankees, he’s going to have to take less money to do so.
