If the Phillies can get one more good starter then should challenge for the division next year. Assuming we don’t get Rendon, AA should move pretty quickly on a 3b after that chip has fallen.

Well damnit. Add one more team to the mix for a third baseman.
Can’t believe the Angels unloaded their 2019 first-rounder just to move Cozart’s $13m. They better hope they can land one of Cole and Rendon/Donaldson (if not two).
Honestly, if the Braves had the space cash, I wouldn’t have minded seeing Anthopoulos absorb that money, pick up the SS prospect, and have Cozart be a way-overpriced UTIL for one year.

Like the move for the Giants (as well as the Gausman gamble). Makes you wonder if Farhan thinks he can eat some of Longoria's money and market him to one of the teams that needs a 3B. If they could get a halfway decent SP prospect for him they could slide Cozart in at 3B without losing much while continuing to improve their system by moving fringe pieces. They'll really regret not moving MadBum and Smith at the deadline, but adding the Angels' Smith, a 45 FV SP prospect, and a couple picks for Bumgarner and Smith is at least a start. Will Wilson profiles more as a 2B, but they've got Dubon who profiles better at SS. If they can get Longoria and Cozart off their books and pick up a couple solid college SP prospects that can move pretty fast with those draft picks, they'll have boatloads of cash to spend with Buster, Belt, Crawford, Cueto, and Samardzija all coming off by after the 2021 season.

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?
We’ve re-signed Rafael Ortega - there’s our elite utility guy!

Interesting comment from AA. It reads like he’s laying the ground work for a nothing burger at third, but the trade off is he’s confirming we’ll still get that big bat in the outfield if that’s the case.
Failed offseason if we start the season with Riley or Camargo at 3b. Most of that bullpen money should of been thrown at Rendon imo. Not signing Martin would of been the difference between JD and Rendon.
