The site MLB Trade Rumors picked up on Sam Donnellon's article about Gillick's spot on the hot seat. In the article Charlie Manuel is quoted as saying "We've got to fix our 'pen." Manuel could and probably will be fired if the bullpen doesn't get fixed because this team will not be a playoff contender with the current situation. MLB Trade Rumors has a nice summary of relievers that the Phils could be going after right this second.
Some highlights:
- Byung-Hyun Kim.
- Scott Linebrink - spent March and April trying to get him so it seems unlikely.
- Salomon Torres - would probably only be dealt when the Pirates start losing and give up on their season.
- Chad Cordero - Not common to deal within the division but the Nationals don't have a shot and might look to get rid of him.
There a few others, hopefully Gillick gets someone who didn't spend last year on the DL or in the minor leagues.
