There was a time when everyone wanted to come play for the Philadelphia Phillies.
The greatest pitcher in the world, Roy Halladay, pushed for a trade from his longtime home, the Toronto Blue Jays, in order to land in Philly and play for a world championship-caliber team. Cliff Lee spurned both the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees because he desperately wanted to return to Philadelphia.
During that 2007-2011 stretch run, Philly was the hot destination, but that is not quite the case right now.
