I think this little spat has clearly shown who the problem is.

That said, if the Phillies land a guy like Harper, it's game over offensively: Segura SS, Realmuto C, Harper RF, Hoskins 1B, McCuthchen LF, Herrera CF, Hernandez 2B, Franco 3B

That's why the Phils were always scary.
If they continued to be stupid and signed deals like Santana's and Corbin's, they would continue to be irrelevant.
If they smartened up, they could be very dangerous due to their massive resources.
It looks like they are going to spend big to be really good the next 2+ years, and then we will see how badly these short term moves have hurt them long term.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Excited for all the Double A and Triple A championships we're going to win!

Mish thinks that before today we had the best outstanding offer and it looks like the Phillies are topping it.

Current rumor is Sixto plus Alfaro plus 2 more from the group of Mickey Moniak, Adam Haseley, and Adonis Medina, with Jon Heyman of MLB Network reporting (Twitter links) that Alec Bohm, Luis Garcia, and Spencer Howard.
Rough estimates of the value of those guys:
Sixto FV 60 P = $60M (trending down due to injury concerns, some may value him as a 55 worth $35M)
Alfaro FV 45 C = $6M if prospect, likely higher since he is a bit proven at the MLB level
Medina FV 55 P = $34M
Bohm FV 50 3B = $28M
Haseley FV 45+ P = $6M
Howard FV 45 P = $4M
Moniak FV 40+ CF = $4M
Garcia FV 40+ P = $3M
So the 6 guys labeled as throw ins aren't close to equal. If the Marlins get Sixto plus Alfaro plus one of Medina/Bohm plus one of the bottom 4 I think they did very well for themselves. If the return is Sixto plus Alfaro plus 2 of the bottom 4...not so much.

The Phillies are stupid if they trade a package like what's being rumored. Realmuto is good but how long will he be good? He'll be 28 by the start of the season. That's not young for a catcher. There's a good bet that he'll be in steep decline by the time he's a FA.
So while the Phils might have the money to re-sign him, it's still pretty much a rental. Realmuto in 2 years probably isn't the guy he was last year.

The reality is that mid market teams like the Braves can't overpay on deals like this.
That would be an insane package. I'm glad that we didn't try to beat that. If the Marlins can pull this deal off, Jeter will have redeemed himself a bit after the other trades he made.
The Phillies also better hope that this deal leads to immediate contention because their farm is going to be pretty terrible after this deal.
