OT: Philadelphia Phillies: 2019 Offseason #FireSZN

[FLYguy3911]

Winter Meetings kicking off.

 

[FlyingPhilly]

Because they have ****ty scouting

Need to fire the scouting staff and hire new ones. Pluck them from Tampa since their farm system is usually highly regarded

Marvin Miller and Ted Simmons elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Simmons was (and maybe still is) a Philadelphia Eagles fan and used to wear an Eagles t-shirt underneath his uniform.

Was hoping that Dick Allen got voted in. He has a MVP and is like top 65 all-time WAR for hitters. Top 60 if you take out active players of today.

That Nike symbol just looks so out of place...put it on the sleeve

Off the top of my head I don’t think Nike in other sports does that either. I think pretty much all of the have the logo on the chest.

[Danko]

Stras getting paid by DC

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I'm generally high on him and even I did a double take. Jesus.

Pending the deferred money, of course.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Per Lerner, this means Rendon is gone.

hopefully he is irked about it and comes up the road to stick it to the Nats

 

[Cody Webster]

Lol. Years 3-7 of that contact are going to be terrible when they are paying him that money and he's on the permanent DL

I mean, there isn't any other place for it to go on a basketball jersey. It just looks so out of place on a baseball jersey, I guess since it's a new thing

 

[PhlthyRich]

soo are we getting Cole or Rendon

They do football (NFL & NCAA) & hockey (NCAA & IIHF) as well though where it’s on the chest plate too. It’s there for their NCAA baseball programs too.

So I’m guessing it’s a marketing requirement from Nike’s end to have it in the most visible place possible on their jerseys.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is Cole getting $300? 8*37?

 

[trostol]

soo are we getting Cole or Rendon

if i were choosing i'd go after Cole...need pitching..or hell both even lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I'm sure expectations will stay appropriate.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I'm sure expectations will stay appropriate.

I’m sure that’ll hurt.

 

[BiggE]

My guess:
They sign Gregorius and another non top tier starter. That will put them at, or a smidge over, the luxury tax. If Cutch can stay healthy, this will give them a pretty solid lineup. The rotation should also be improved.

A lot of money will come off the books after the upcoming season so I can see them going after an impact free agent or two next winter.

He'd be easier on the wallet than Rendon right? But what would we give up?

thanks for the input; what non top tier starter would you suggest

 

[Chinatown88]

I'm sure expectations will stay appropriate.

But the majority of our prospects suck. So we should be fine.

Phillies spending like the Yankees. And drafting like the Orioles.
