Phillies, five others on Royals closer Soria's no-trade list
This is actually good news, since the price on Soria is apparently astronomical. The Phils don't need him, and I'd prefer they not be tempted to pursue him. Soria is a great talent, but he's not worth the "exorbitant" return KC would want. Certainly not for the Phillies. In that sense, it's kind of a non-story, but I mention it because I'm kind of surprised a player would specifically mention not wanting to play for big-market contenders like Philadelphia, Boston, and New York, or even a small market contender like Atlanta. Maybe he just doesn't want to relocate, so he's listing the teams most likely to deal for him?
