February 20, 20197 yr Just imagine if the Pads do sign both... Philly fans and Sox fans will burn the world down
February 20, 20197 yr 2 minutes ago, fathom said: Nah, I think they sign Marwin Gonzales and Ervin Santana To be honest, I don't think they sign anyone. This is your team. Maybe they sign CarGo or Adam Jones because they need a competent RF but other than them, I don't see it. Edited February 20, 20197 yr by Jack Parkman
February 20, 20197 yr Look, I get why we shouldn't have a lot of optimism in this FO to actually outsmart anyone and make a play for Harper. But if I'm the Sox, I WANT Nightengale putting information out there saying the Phillies are bidding against themselves so that we can try to sneak in with a winning (panic?) bid that beats what the Phils consider "good enough".
February 20, 20197 yr 4 minutes ago, fathom said: Nah, I think they sign Marwin Gonzales and Ervin Santana I can see Ervin Santana. I don't think they'd get Marwin. Yolmer is a poor man's version of Marwin, and I personally rather have Yolmer (from a locker room perspective).

This team is run by a clown college of morons. They're not smart enough to pull that off.

They have a reasonable option to fill every position and a long-term plan for those positions once they move Moncada to 3b. No other option is a better use of money, and if positions of need to appear they could just fill it with a mid-level free agent next offseason for the same type of price.

At this point, I would be furious if they sign CarGo or Jones.

February 20, 20197 yr Maybe everyone has misunderstood what the Phillies mean by spending stupid money. Let's say they offer 5 years 100 million, Boras says "hey that's stupid" and the Sox swoop in.

I really need to stop reading this forums because everytime I see someone's post I think of how the sox can turn something into a negative. Like signing Cargo and Kuechel for way over their value.

Like signing Cargo and Kuechel for way over their value. Even a fair contract for them is a poor contract for this franchise. Congratulations, you spent $25 million on them, and your team will now win 70 games next year instead of 67. This is the type of success you wanted to bring with that money and a great value, right?

OMFG quit giving Rick and Kenny ideas.

February 20, 20197 yr How many times a day do you think JR asks Hahn if Cash Considerations also plays baseball?
