Even just for the year if Jimenez, it was a solid trade. Would be nice to make a similar one for a BP piece.

Well, the team finished below .500 last year.

Also have to remember that there’s a competent hitter at short for the first time in a couple years. Going from Allen to Kim is quite a jump. That plus proper use of Yaz and Dubón should cut down on the impact of losing Ozuna.

Where are you pulling this from?

Yeah Peralta isnt good enough to give up even just Waldrep for.

Because the money a FA gets becomes prohibitive.

I’m not trading Waldrep+ for Peralta. Ritchie sure.

I remember when trading him was a big mistake (to some)

I don’t know what the Phillies are doing this offseason. They’ve spent money but haven’t actually improved their team at all. Signed Keller but then traded Strahm for a random RP. As it stands right now I think Atlanta is easily the better team. When Dombrowski has to actually GM and not just...

Thank you sav - long overdue

Doesn’t that apply to pretty much anyone? I’m not sure why it would be worse for a dude who doesn’t throw hard to begin with and has a bunch of effective pitches.

Thing with Suarez is, any deal we are all comfortable enough with, I’d bet the Phillies would match it or give him a little bit extra. They don’t lose a pick obviously.

Jansen to Detroit for 1/$9m, $2m buyout with $12m team option year 2.

You’re on the list too, pal.

Was walking my dog one time when a guy in a pest control truck stopped me and asked how to get out of my neighborhood. After I told him, he offered me a container of Wawa buffalo chicken bites, of which he had already eaten one. I think that’s around the return I’d expect for Bummer.

Yeah I don’t really see Elder’s place on this team. Would be great if you could stash him in AAA for starts when needed but you can’t. I don’t see him as a BP piece.

That’s kinda nuts.

True. But if he has a bad year, he might not get to $28m. Betting on himself a bit.

Probably have one of them play 2B.

So he was offered at least $48m. Good to know. Leads me back to question, what’s his contract upside? Obviously 3/$28m is low AAV but is he going to get much more than $28m on his next contract, even if he has a good year? A good year will get him a QO attached which likely lessens the amount a...
