08:16 AM ET 08.23 | Jim Thome, back in Cleveland? The Twins placed [Thome] on trade waivers Monday, according to major-league sources. Whether they actually trade him remains to be seen. The Phillies want Thome as a left-handed hitter off the bench. But Thome, who recently hit his 600th home run, is almost certain to be claimed before the Phils get a crack at him, sources say. ... In Thome's case, he first must clear waivers in the AL. Every NL team also would get a shot at him before the Phils, who own the best record in the majors. Chances are, Thome will not even get through the AL. The Indians, another of Thome's previous clubs, might want to reunite with him; the team on Monday placed Travis Hafner on the DL with a strained right foot.

The Phillies could use him but I don't see it happening. He didn't do well with the Dodger's coming off of the bench last year. Cleveland could be an interesting possibility I'm just not sure at Thome's age if he can play every day even as a DH.

If he ends up moving, I think he'll remain in the AL.
Morning Mongo.

Be careful...Clem is Hell's (the bar's) head of security...one wave of his hand and six bouncers may be carrying you out the door.
