Hunter Pence Rumors: Friday

The Astros are asking for multiple impact players in any deal involving Hunter Pence, according to Jon Heyman, Jayson Stark and Buster Olney. Pence earns $6.9MM this year and is due for a raise this offseason, when he could see his salary jump to the $10MM range. He'll earn another raise for the 2013 campaign before hitting free agency that offseason. Here's the latest on Pence, who is one of few impact hitters available:

• The Phillies are targeting Pence, but the price for him is rather high, writes CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury.  Houston would probably want a package that begins with Domonic Brown.  The Phillies might also have to include another top talent along with him.
• The Reds have discussed Pence, according to John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
