2017/2018 Phillies Off-Season Thread

[ice grillin you]

Would you give up Sixto and Kingery?

I would

theres no two players you dont give up for him if he agrees to sign long term

[PhillyPhreak54]

No doubt

Interesting note. Phillies last time not having a former player of theirs as a ML coach or manager was 1933.

Would you give up Sixto and Kingery?

I would

If he agreed to a long-term deal he couldn't weasel out of?

Wouldn't even blink.

1) the orioles have said there would be no negotiating window
2) he is signing a stanton-like deal that will include several opt outs
3) he is not signing a deal with the worthless phillies, right now, until they prove they have talent
4) regardless of anything he is hitting the market in 2018
5) you dont trade your closest hitting prospect and best overall prospect -- and one of the best in baseball, who was scooped up by boras -- for a farging possible rental.

its amazing to me how uneducated people can be that follow baseball closely.

No one ever said they'd trade Kingery & Sexto for a rental.

phils sign 3 yr $60mil deal with carlos Santana ...Hoskins to LF now ?

[ice grillin you]

been doing some reading on the galvis trade....the guy they got from the padres becomes a top ten phillies prospect...not a bad haul for basically a garbage player who had no future with the team

phils sign 3 yr $60mil deal with carlos Santana ...Hoskins to LF now ?

I don't really understand this move whatsoever aside from a "we have money to burn" pov. He's 31, type of player a contender would add. $20 million per is steep.

Ok Todd, tell me why I'm wrong.

i totally agree its a move that a team trying to win would make....the other side is that it massively upgrades 1B and money dont mean shtein to them

have to believe an OF gets moved for pitching now

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't understand the Santana signing.

$60 mil?

Which OF is getting traded? ODub?

whichever one makes sense in a deal....or none do and the worst one is a OF4

[PhillyPhreak54]

Did he get a NTC?

Because I can see Santana wanting out midway thru next season

[ice grillin you]

Did he get a NTC?

no...in fact theres a club option for a fourth year

[PhillyPhreak54]

I understand trading Freddy too. But I loved watching him play defense.

The dude they got for him good?
