Red Sox Hub Trade Rumor Central July 21, 2005
Teams keep calling on Wagner, even as the Phillies keep creeping closer to the wild-card lead. And the Phillies keep saying no to just about everything. But two clubs report the Phillies have told both the Red Sox and White Sox that if they can pull off a trade for Burnett, a three-way deal that would spin Wagner for Burnett is not out of the question. But other than that, one team that spoke with the Phillies says the only way they would move Wagner is for "something extreme." And in this market, it's almost impossible to envision any other package that would meet that definition. (Stark/ESPN)
