Adding Realmuto, Segura, McCutchen and Roberson are all pretty darn good improvements for the Phillies. Still some other guys they can add like Keuchel, Kimbrel and Moose too. This seems crazy to say on February 8th, but the off-season is still far from over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a practical point of view ( at least in my opinion) I think Keuchel and Kimbrel would finish out their roster much better than Harper/Machado. Not that either of those guys wouldn't help, obviously they would help every single team. But I'd say their offense is a better match for their division rivals than their pitching right now. I'd say both the Mets and Nats have better rotations, as well as better bullpens. Adding Kimbrel and Keuchel for 30M or so may be a better investment than spending that money on Harper or Machado. Obviously that lacks the splash, but it may help more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's alot for 2yrs control of the best catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
