Durbin could return to Philadelphia on a Minor League deal

According to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Enquirer, right handed pitcher Chad Durbin could be returning to the Phillies on a Minor League deal. The team pulled their Major League offer off the table weeks ago, but according to baseball sources close to Gelb the door is still not closed on a possible return for him.
Durbin’s agent, Dan Horwits, is still talking with a couple of teams about a possible Major League deal for his client, but if all those fail the right hander could return to the Phillies camp. Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated adds on February 23, that the right-hander is still deciding between the Phillies, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners.
Earlier today, we learned that Durbin was intrigued by the Red Sox’s offer to be a starter, and earlier this month he said that he would prefer to pitch for a contender.
Durbin was 4-1 with a 3.80 ERA in 68.2 innings throughout 64 games with the Phillies in 2010.
