There's enough of a track record where if Katz signs off on them, that's good enough for me Are we sure Cueto's success can be attributed to Katz? Seems like he just finally got healthy this year.

I don't think he's dissimilar from pitchers like Kikuchi, Alex Wood, Matz, Alex Cobb etc who all signed multi year deals last off-season. ~3/36M doesn't strike me as unreasonable for him at all.

I'm glad I got to experience it in 05 and it seems like there's always one team doing that every postseason. This Phillies team, last year's Braves, 2019 Nationals, etc.

October 23, 20223 yr Got a break with the increasing rain intensity. At least it's an interesting game, Decision to pull Wheeler the first move to backfire on Thomson recently...along with relief moves in G2.
October 23, 20223 yr Bryce Harper would have looked good in the White Sox line up the last couple of years. At least JR gets to die with a bigger bank account.

October 23, 20223 yr Unreal. Gotta give credit to the Phillies. Team of destiny right now. Couldn't get the game to Hader. Wheeler and Harper would have looked pretty nice in Sox uniforms...
October 23, 20223 yr Padres' fans somewhat bitter they didn't get Harper and Machado, saving the need to empty out the system for Soto. That just wasn't realistic at the time.

October 23, 20223 yr Would be a shocker if Azocar Drury or Kim can do much here. Lost Bell for the PR in the 7th.

They wouldn’t have signed Eaton or traded for Pollock. That right their makes Harpers cost go down. They are so afraid of good players. Bryce Harper would have done so much more than help them win games. They wouldn’t be the forgotten team anymore nationally let alone locally. Always think small seems to be their motto,

October 23, 20223 yr David Robertson closing. I bet the Phillies wish they had Joe Kelly. They would have loved Joe Kelly.

Always think small seems to be their motto, Same with Machado. Moncada won 2019, but those three non-moves pinned the rebuild largely on the success of Yoan, Robert and Jimenez. Fwiw, Machado has a legit case for ML MVP.
