Have Phillies Cooled Off on Yasmany Tomas? Jayson Stark Joined Mike Gill to discuss the Phillies Offseason

Yesterday on the Sports Bash, ESPN Sr. baseball writer Jayson Stark joined me on the show to discuss a plethora of Phillies rumors that have been out there this off season.

One big name that we discussed is 23-year old Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas, who Stark thinks could be in Philly very soon.

Part I:

Part II: 

So why have the Phillies cooled off on Tomas?

Hagen writes Thursday that the club views Tomas "as more of a designated hitter-type player" after scouting him in a number of public and private workouts.

Even with all that talk, many around baseball still think the Phillies are the frontrunners to land Tomas.

The 23-year-old Cuban defector is thought to be seeking a deal worth more than the record $72.5 million pact.
