Phillies Trade Cal Mclish for slugger Frank Thomas


Clearwater,Fl-Philadelphia Phillies GM John Gindville has just confirmed that the Phils have just made a deal with the New York Mets that will send 38 year old pitcher Cal Mclish to New York for power hitting first baseman/left fielder Frank Thomas.The 34 year old Thomas is in his 14th year of professional service with a lifetime batting average of .267 with 272 career home runs and 900 RBI.He's expected to be the regular first baseman until young Danny Cater is ready for the job.Roy Sievers it seems is the odd man out and will most likely be dealt before the end of spring training.
