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...

Yeah I think he’s cooked. But he should clear the incredibly low bar of being better than Nick Castellanos

Well Garcia is a much better defender than Castellanos. Looks like they’ll be going with Crawford in CF which is questionable. But Marsh should be a good defensive LF.

Bassitt will prob sign right around what Kelly signed for. $20m added to the payroll would be $276m. That only leaves ~$7m before the 3rd cap. AA probably wants more than that going into the season.

But what’s his upside on a FA deal after he’s another year older and potentially has a QO attached? It’s not like he’s in line for a 5-year deal next offseason. If he has a really good, healthy season he’ll have the QO. I think the familiarity played some sort of role.

Kim signed over 12 hours ago. It’s time to move back to the regularly programmed discussions.

I’d rather AA just commit to using him in the BP or as an opener type. He could still be well worth his contract doing that. But asking him to pitch as a regular starter is begging for another injury.

You are the one who brought it up lol absolutely bizarre behavior.
