The latest in a slew of Phillies trade rumor news has them looking at rekindling their relationship with reliever Jake Diekman.
Diekman, who the Phillies drafted in the 30th round of the 2007 MLB June Amateur Draft from Cloud County Community College, was shipped to Texas in the Cole Hamels trade. Now with the Kansas City Royals, who are in big-time selling mode, Diekman’s name is the latest Phillies trade rumor to hit Twitter.
MLB.com Royals beat writer Jeffrey Flanagan tweeted Friday night that the Phillies were scouting the Royals in recent weeks.
