March 29, 20224 yr SPeaking of Kimbrel, seems wasnt too long ago there was talk of how we robbed the cubs. May have spoken too soon

March 29, 20224 yr One org guy deserves another. If the Sox gave anything more than an org guy or cash, they really should seek mental help
March 29, 20224 yr While we're always focused on the big league roster and immediate impact moves, the FO needs to be fielding teams at every level, and in doing so, trying to find players with potential MLB-value, e.g., a "change of scenery," or "lightning in a bottle" type player. I think that's all this is. They know it's more than likely we're going to have to call up some minor league OF help throughout the season, so why not get a guy who can actually field, bats LH, has been able to hit in the minors (and even in the majors for a short stint). On a side note, I could see the Phillies signing a Brett Gardner or Brian Goodwin. Or maybe swinging a trade for Meadows. I guess I could see them signing Conforto but that's them paying for three of the top OF FAs. A bit much, but not out of the question.

Never say never with him.....but who is playing CF for the Phillies??? Herrera???? Edited March 29, 20224 yr by Jack Parkman

Why would the Phillies deliberately keep trying to worsen their OF defense? And nearly everyone says Gardner to NYY or retiring.

Makes sense. Other teams have some roster decisions to make the same as the WS. Three or four guys changing uniforms on most teams is to be expected. A change of scenery will do a few of them some good.

March 29, 20224 yr Kiermaier ouchy. Meadows not in the lineup, for conspiracy theorists. Two Lowe’s and Brett Phillips (DH). Looks like Josh Lowe, a 20-20 guy, will be the final OF cut so he can play every day at Durham. And shockingly Gary Sanchez bad/indifferent defense leads to a run.

Meadows is worth 11.1m in surplus value according to that mlbtrade site. It would be tough to get him looking at what we have in the minors if you assume guys like Colas, Vera, Montgomery and Kath are untouchable. Kimbrel has -1 value so even if you added 6m, it's nowhere near enough and TB wants a low payroll.
