Papelbon on returning to Boston: 'It does cross my mind'
As he continues to prod the Philadelphia Phillies to trade him, Jonathan Papelbon wonders if he'd be a good fit with the only other MLB team he's pitched for.
"Yeah, of course," Papelbon told WEEI.com when asked if he's considered a potential return to the Boston Red Sox. "Yes, it does cross my mind but I think this year they've got different things to attack and different needs and different necessities to maybe seek out."
In six seasons as the Red Sox closer, Papelbon tallied 219 saves, an average of 37 saves per season.
Papelbon didn't exactly commit to the idea of returning to Beantown, but he was open to the idea of considering reuniting with the Sox.
"I'd have to think about it," Papelbon said. "I don't know, man. If they made an [offer]. If the opportunity was there, I'd have to think about and weigh that opportunity against another opportunity elsewhere."
