It has been rumored for some time now that the Phillies have been interested in re-aquiring the newest member of the 600 Home-Run Club. Thome played in Philadelphia from 2003-2005, before he was dealt to the Chicago White Sox.
However, the likelyhood of Thome coming back is slim as 28 other teams would have to pass on Thome before the Phillies have a chance to make a claim.
Thome does have a no-trade clause though, and has the ability to refuse to go to the team that claimed him.
Thome has until August 31st to find a team and be eligible for a postseason roster.
