THOMPSON ON THE MOVE, AGAIN
PHILADELPHIA -- After being dealt in the off-season, future Hall of Famer Mark Thompson (.354/36 HR/ 113 RBI) felt that the Yankees, his long-time team figured he didn't have much left to offer them.
But the 39-year old slugger is vying for a triple crown, with less than six weeks left in the season and with his Fresno Grizzlies in last place, he quietly asked management for a trade.
"I don't know how many years left I have here. They were gracious and I'll always appreciate that."
The slugger was dealt to Philadelphia today for three prospects.
The Blue Jays are a half game behind the Brooklyn Kings in the NL East.
