Official Offseason Thread

5 years and just under 120 million. Not quite a total albatross it would seem, but a hefty contract nonetheless.

He’s not worth that at all. That is betting on getting it all to click, and in that park... EH

He needs to produce roughly 12 WAR over the life of the contract to be worth it. I think that's totally doable considering his last couple of seasons, but the injury concerns with him make it a pretty big risk. Certainly a lot of money/years to guarantee to a guy that's never pitched more than 200 innings.

I'll say it again, they should have went after Cole/Stras if they were willing to spend "stupid money."

Haven't read through all this, but is there a LH 3b platoon partner for Riley/camargo perhaps?

ETA... if so, go get ozuna
 
I really love Wheeler and his potential but this is pretty awful for the Phillies. They're going to be in cap hell soon, with a ****ty farm system to boot. They better go all-in now and grab another elite bat and some more depth.

Only way I’d let Riley start at 3b from ST is if we got Lindor and Ozuna somehow.

They don't need both. But they do need to get a legit player whether it's Ozuna, Donaldson, or Lindor, etc. In that scenario Riley should see a lot of ABs against lefties whether that's at 3B or LF.

Wheeler has been really good the last two years and likely 'earns' that contract
 
LMAO:

#WhiteSox’s offer to Wheeler was for MORE than the $118M he will receive from the #Phillies, sources tell The Athletic. As
@MarcCarig
said, Wheeler’s wife is from New Jersey, and that proximity was an important consideration in his decision.

Neck was terrible last year and is a year older and Ender who knows. I see Acuna being our only reliable OF’er again next year. Personally Neck should be a bench bat and nothing else at this point bc he’s just not a starter at anymore. If they can resign JD then a cheaper option like Haniger needs to be brought in.
