Phillies made an offer for Wang
River Avenue Blues —
Via some schmuck at MLBTR, the Phillies offered the Yanks an unknown prospect for Chien-Ming Wang, but apparently the prospect was not to their liking.

Phillies coveting Wang?
Sounds like a half-assed WFAN caller's suggestion. Which means it probably goes down sometime in the next two weeks.

Terrible idea.
