Phillies Considered Trading Myers?

By Alex Walsh [January 17, 2009 at 4:53pm CST]

Reader Connor Garrison has identified an interesting point made in the middle of an article from MLB.com's Mark Bowman.

The article focuses on the addition of Derek Lowe to the Braves' rotation, but offers a reason as to why the Braves went so strong so quickly after Lowe.

Says Bowman: "Motivated by last week's meeting and under the belief that the Phillies might attempt to create payroll space by trading Brett Myers, the Braves acted quickly and provided an offer that Lowe couldn't refuse."

Myers may have been taken off the block after Lowe signed with the Braves. On the other hand, perhaps a bigger-than-expected deal for Ryan Howard could convince the Phillies to revisit the idea of trading Myers.
