National News Source:Bleacher Report - Houston Astros - July 28 10:50 PM EDT
A week ago today, about this time of night, rumors started flying that the Astros and Phillies were in negotiations that would send right-hander Roy Oswalt to the City of Brotherly Love.
The talks ended up fizzling as Oswalt demanded that his $16 million option for the 2012 season be picked up by whoever acquires him.
That turned the Phillies off and the talks ended up going cold.
A day or so later, it was the St. Louis Cardinals that ended up being the front-runner and it looked like Oswalt wou... Read More »
