Todd Zolecki of MLB.com says that former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell is not headed back to the city that he helped win the 2008 World Series.

Burrell was designated for assignmetn by the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend and cleared waivers today. Any team interested in Burrell would have to pay the pro-rated portion of the league’s minimum $400,000 salary (about $300,000). The Rays will pay the remaining $6.5 million on his $9 million contract.

“We just don’t have a role for him right now,” Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “There isn’t a fit.”

Burrell, 33, was hitting .202/.292/.333 in 24 games with the Tampa Bay Rays.
