However not sure there’s team out there that want to take on the last 5 years of that contract with what they saw in 2025. Maybe half of it but Phillies aren’t taking nothing for him and eating half of that salary. Add on due to service time he has a NTC

I knew it would be harder to dump him then cast at this point

I knew it would be harder to dump him then cast at this pointI made this argument I think like a week ago, the problem with casty is everybody knows you don’t want him on the team. He’s making $20 million. Maybe you can find a team that says well we want him enough that we’ll pay $3 million so he doesn’t have to go the free agent route and we have to compete with somebody. But I don’t think his market is so robust that that is realistic. It’s why I kind of made the argument you’re already paying him $20 million. The better option with him would just be like we’re gonna platoon you with Brandon marsh. You could be the right handed bat to his left-handed bat. And you just do it for a couple months and if it doesn’t work out, you can cut them anyways. I don’t think it’s gonna hurt you. I really don’t think it’s gonna mess up the locker room. He was doing that crap last year. They still won 95 games. I don’t remotely see this happening as I don’t think the front office wants him there anymore, but I can make the argument it is a better plan than just wasting $20 million to release him.
