Hunter Pence is not expected to be traded now.
The Houston Astros turned down an offer from the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. The reported proposal was Pence to the Phillies for prospects Jonathan Singleton, the Phillies no. 1 prospect, Jarred Cosart, and a third prospect.
Pence was out of the Astros lineup, which made the rumor mill go crazy, thinking that he had already been traded. But the Astros were simply giving him a night off.
Pence is in the final year of his contract that pays him $6.9 million this season. He is arbitration eligible for the 2012 season.
