The main issue is Oswalt will only waive his no-trade clause if the team he goes to picks up his 16 million dollar 2012 contract option. Oswalt is 32 now, so he would be 34 or 35 in that final year making a hefty 16 million dollars. Ouch...
The Phils are obviously balking at this idea. If only we still had a fantastic pitcher with a decent price tag this year?? Hmmmmmm...
Another snag is a report surfacing that Oswalt doesn't want to go to a team with an aggressive media market. Philly is not an aggressive media market right?? (insert laughter)
Stay tuned for more details as they emerge... Phils have to do something and something quick. This season is on the cusp of disaster.
