PHILADELPHIA -
Former Phillies centerfielder Shane Victorino agreed to a three-year deal Wednesday with the Boston Red Sox.
The deal is reportedly worth $39 million.
Victorino only hit .255 last season but still managed to get a three and a half-million-dollar annual raise.
Former Phillie and Atlanta Brave Michael Bourn is the best centerfielder still on the market.
The player Phillies fans really want is Texas free-agent outfielder Josh Hamilton, but FOX 29's Howard Eskin says, "It's not happening."
"I'm told the Phillies don't feel another left-handed hitter is a fit in their lineup," Eskin reported. "I agree. And today the Rangers got closer to a four-year deal with Hamilton."
Regarding Victorino's deal, Eskin remarked, "Are you kidding me?" before adding, "The Phils had no interest."

Not the prettiest Friday, but we're ready for a great weekend. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. After an early high in the upper sixties, temperatures fall & winds pick up out of the chillier northwest. Right now the Memorial Day Weekend looks sunny and cool with highs in the low to mid 60s on Saturday, in the 70s Sunday & Monday. Cooler temps at the shore.
Have fun!
