e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 6 minutes ago, What The F said: Stupid contract, but f it. Not my money. Yup agreed on that. stark said it just now on the radio. When they offered him 110 they were basically forced to just go up 5.5 million to get him locked up so he achieved his highest average annual salary for a catcher. He was originally asking for 30 mil per year and no team was going there. Plus if the Phillies lowballed JT where he took a one year deal elsewhere it would come off poorly around the league and with the fans even if they were bidding against themselves. Also middleton knew the fans would hold it against the Phillies if they didn’t get it done. stark also thinks the Phillies are in the centerfield market still via FA or trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shades 73 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Looks like the way they structured the deal is to stay under LT, money this year is deferred, what a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Nova Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just heard the news. Huge contract but he's the best catcher in MLB so let's hope he plays at this level for the next 4-5 years. Congrats JT and welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsFanBill Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Simmons to the Twins for 1 year 10.5. Hopefully didi wants to stay and the phillies pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBorBust Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I thought re-signing the best player in the league at his position would be viewed as a good thing. I guess I should have known better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dumb of them not to sign him to an extension immediately thereafter. As far as the negotiations are concerned, you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. I personally wouldn’t give him more than 100. Could Klentak has done a worse job with the resources he was given? He was terrible at everything.

vsptroops Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I like the Didi signing, especially since it's for 2 years (gotta wonder if Klentak was still in charge if that would have been a 3 or 4 year deal). It'll be nice if this Bryson Stott kid can grow into Didi's replacement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsFanBill Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Super happy they resigned didi. Our offense is good enough with this lineup. Just please get even an average starter so I don’t have to see Velasquez ever start a game again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
