Phils Not Interested In Mora

Steve King reported yesterday that the Phillies were interested in third baseman/outfielder Melvin Mora.  Not so, according to Todd Zolecki of the Philadelphia Inquirer.  The specific words were "no chance."  I saw this debunked elsewhere as well; can't recall where at the moment.

As I said before, Mora doesn't have much value and I'd imagine any team willing to pay his entire salary could have him for a song.

That said, Gillick and company denied any interest in Lowell as well.

Last night, Gillick was interviewed and stated that he did not want to spend significant payroll unless that player had significant upside. Based on this statement, my first thought was the Mora rumors had to be false.
