PHILLIES NEWS

Well, it's official Pat Burrell will not return to the Phils next season. After the Phillies signed Raul Ibanez there was little chance he would return, and today he finalized a 2 year $16 million deal with the Tampa Bay Rays, yes the same team the Phillies just beat in the world series. So next season he'll be able them beat Phillies in the world series instead of the other way round. Good for him that he gets to move on to a good ball club, but it's just too bad the Phils couldn't keep him.
