OT: Philadelphia Phillies: We Still Have A Guy Named MacPhail In The Front Office...

[Hollywood Cannon]

Howie never keeps this same energy for the Eagles. It ruins the whole shtick.

Sidenote; not defending the Phillies just laughing at that clown.

Still laugh when Charlie tried to fight him.

Charlie’s been growed up.

That $2 billion seems a tiny bit inflated. Otherwise we prob shoulda had a payroll about 10x higher.

 

[montreal]

who wrote that the onion? 2 Billion lost, lol. It was said at some after the season was over they lost over 100 Million how the f*** did someone come up with 2 Billion.

Might as well have a team of f***ing nobodies at this point...

 

[FLYguy3911]

Addition by subtraction imo, but if the end goal is shedding salary, oh the irony.

Comes down to this, you can go 75-87 with a $100M budget just as easily as a $200M budget, but then you can actually afford to resign your own stars (if you can produce them, Bohm is on the way) instead of overpaying for declining over 30 free agents.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

f***ing kill me... they decide to pay this f*** face but not f***ing Realmuto?

 

[montreal]

How about the rumor that they had a deal done last week with former phillie Trevor May but something came up in the physical and he ends up with the Mets instead.

As for Segura the rumor seems to be with the Jays for Roark

Vinny Velo was tendered, didn't think they would bother.

Knapp gets 1.1M

 

[trostol]

2 things

1. The obvious. Someone super rich needs to come in and buy the team from Middleton
B. If that does not happen, Bryce won't be here for the rest of his career

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I hate this team

Uhhh, what?

Poverty franchise gonna poverty franchise.

This franchise always will be cheapskates. They just fooled us for a few years in the late 2000’s.

They are who we thought they were.

Don't worry, if we get 1st overall, we'll just draft another Mickey Moniak. Seriously, for the most part, this entire organization sucks ass when it comes to scouting and developing players properly. Nola and Bohm are the exceptions to this.

 

[Flybynite]

There's a reason why the Phillies have the most losses in baseball history and it's not just their age(there actually are like 5 or 6 teams that started play before the Phillies).

The periods of actual 'competitiveness' are minor blips on a perpetually ineptly run (often crying cheap) franchise with historically bad periods of drafting and minor league player development.

 

[trostol]

he can't help himself it seems

Phillies exec: Wouldn't trade Wheeler for Ruth

My apathy for this franchise is at an all time low. First time in my life I didnt watch a single game in a season.

Idk if its the sport itself or the Phillies ineptitude but i just dont care anymore.

I don’t really care much either but I still generally watch as baseball usually has that time slot in the year where nothing else is on for a few months. At least in a normal year.

Yea i didnt watch any baseball this yr and it distresses me because I love the idea of the game but the pace just cant hold me.

I cant even bring myself to watch great games from the past. My attention span cant handle it.

 

[Halladay]

Not really shocked by this development
