Buzz: The Phillies and Curt Schilling
Yesterday, in a post to his blog, 38 Pitches, free-agent RHP Curt Schilling put the Mets and Phillies among 12 teams he would be interested in signing with, though the Red Sox remain his first choice.
This morning on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike, ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark told the show’s hosts that he would not be surprised to see Schilling sign with the Phillies because a) Schilling would love to be the guy who brings a ring to the first team he ever played for, b) he would benefit from pitching in the National League, and c) Phillies GM Pat Gillick loves to over-pay pitchers in exchange for a one-year contract, which Schilling could certainly accept.
Schilling, 41, is 26–15 with a 3.92 ERA in his last 55 starts, spanning two seasons while pitching for the Red Sox in the American League.
