It began with me calling you Don Cooper ?
-
It’s definitely a plus
-
That may be true, but not sure a big potential cash suck is something these guys want on the books if / when they look to sell.
-
I doubt that matters in all honesty.
-
I don’t think he’s ever going to operate that way and his partners would still be around, so kind of shittty & selfish to place that burden on them.
-
What’s that? Durable?
-
Are you talking about Harper?
-
No idea, but kind of shitty he throws out names left and right, but then says something vague like this. Even fake insiders should have some integrity!
-
No idea where to put this and obviously coming from Cishek there needs to be a high degree of skepticism, but for the sake of conversation:
-
Pretty sure we made fun of you for making excuses for the coaching staff.
-
Their wives travel with them the entire time too?
-
Well that was a fun few hours
-
The Phillies aren’t eating $100M under any circumstance and if they did they would get a massive prospect haul back.
-
You’d rather trade Kopech than Dunning?
-
Trump is such a fucking clown
-
It depends on the long-term budget. I would definitely take on Wheeler, but I’d want to make sure Jerry is willing to push this thing up to the $180M to $200M range if I’m taking on Harper as well.
-
Lol...good point!
-
No one was willing to pay Wheeler’s current contact last year except us and the Phillies, why are teams suddenly chomping at the bit to give up talent and absorb that contract in whole in the middle of an economic crisis?
-
I care about my team winning than carrying forward some petty grudge.
-
Except Darvish
-
That might be the worst trade in baseball history.
-
Agreed.
-
$24.1M per
-
That’s just a huge salary commitment that goes on for way too long. No doubt he’d be awesome for our window, but paying that contract in the second half of this decade could suck.
-
For the record, Wheeler has 4 years and $96.5M left on his deal, so effectively a $24.1M AAV. Given Harper’s no trade clause and McCutcheon being unreadable, Wheeler is without question the one piece they could move to quickly free up some payroll.
