Update: Oswalt will not sign with Phillies

February 11, 2012

ESPN's Jayson Stark believes that Roy Oswalt will not re-sign with the Phillies, nor we hill sign with the Rangers.

Here is what Stark said on Baseball Tonight:

"He wanted to go to Texas. That's not gonna happen. He wanted to go back to Philadelphia. That's not gonna happen. He had some interest in the Reds. That doesn't seem like it's going to happen. So his choices still come down to, I think, going to Boston, where they have a clear need but he doesn't seem to want to play, and going to St. Louis, where all his friends say he would love to be. But to do that, he has to do it on their terms."

So there you have it, Oswalt still is not signed. It looks like St. Louis is the only team left, and Oswalt can no longer sign on his own terms.

Pitchers and catchers have already reported for the Seattle Mariners, and I can imagine that the next few days will hold a lot more Oswalt news.
