Can the Phillies afford Roy Halladay?
So you want the Phillies to trade for Roy “Doc” Halladay? Well according to Randy Miller from the Bucks County Courier Post the Phillies will not pull the trigger on this deal and the reason might be money.
Miller thinks that even though the Phillies are selling out the stadium (37 times in 2009) pretty much every night and are in first place and selling plenty of merchandise, they still may not have the go-ahead from the powers that be to make a trade of that magnitude.
The question I have is, how can this be an acceptable answer? The Phillies are selling out, Brett Myers salary is coming off the books and yet they still can’t afford to bring in Halladay?
Take a listen to what Randy Miller has to say on this topic and some others on the Phillies at the All-Star break.

Can Pedro help the Phillies?
When the news spread like wild-fire about Pedro Martinez heading to Philadelphia, most of those reports were coming from former Philadelphia Inquirer Phillies beat writer, and current mlb.com reporter Todd Zolecki.
So is Pedro coming to Philly? When is he coming? How much is he going to get paid? Does this mean the Phillies are ready to trade J.A. Happ to get Roy Halladay? If the Phillies get Halladay, does that mean the Vernon Wells must be a part of the deal?
We asked all those questions and more in our conversation with Todd Zolecki from mlb.com which you can listen to if you click below.

Moise Fokou
I had a chance to chat with a couple of the newest Eagles, Linebacker Mosie Fokou and Offensive guard Paul Fanika. Both guys may be long shots to make the team, but I think of the two, Fokou has a real good chance to make the team.
Many scouting reports list Fokou as a terrific special teams player, something the Eagles always look for in a back-up player. As for Fanika, he is a big kid, listed at 6-5 and 327 pounds, he had a good work ethic while at Arizona State and depending on what happens up from with Max Jean-Gillies, he just might have a shot to make the team or at the very least get sent to the practice squad.
Either way, take a listen to the interviews and meet the guys yourself. Let me know what you think of two of the newest Eagles players.
Joe Horn hopes the Eagles come calling.
By Mike Gill
The Eagles are in need of a wide receiver, and there isn’t a lot available. One guy who has made his intentions known that he wants to be an Eagle – Joe Horn.
The former Saint and Falcon joined me on “The Mike Gill Show” on ESPN 1450. In my discussion with the recently released wide out, he told me about his desire to play for the Eagles, what went wrong in Atlanta and if he has anything left in the 36-year old tank.
