December 1 is the deadline for teams to offer arbitration to their free agents. The Phillies have four: Jamie Moyer, Pat Burrell, Rudy Seanez, and Tom Gordon. Jamie Moyer is likely to get an offer. Maybe Pat Burrell. Rudy Seanez is more iffy and Tom Gordon unlikely.On the minor league front, the Phillies resigned Mike Cervenak, Andy Tracy, and John Suomi. They also picked up RHP, and Philadelphia-area native, Mike Koplove. Formerly with the D'backs and the Dodgers, he signed a minor league deal and will be invited to spring training.
New GM Ruben Amaro has been busy for sure but the offseason so far has been a big yawn. Things should start picking up after tomorrow.
