Ed Wade: He Was Always A Philly To Me

Houston Astros fans spent the past four years making jokes about the Astros being a Phillies farm team as Ed Wade traded away talent for talent with his former employer, the Philadelphia Phillies.

Turns out, his heart never really left Philadelphia. Only a few weeks after being dismissed from the Astros GM spot, Wade has landed himself a new gig….with the Phillies. First Richard Justice tweeted he was hearing it was likely, then Jim Salisbury tweeted that Wade was headed for and indeed landed a job as a scout with the Philadelphia ball club.

Shocked? Nope. Laughing? Absolutely.
