I can’t imagine the return will matter much but seems like a vote of confidence in Moniak , no?

It opens a 40 Man Roster spot for Stott 

 

UPDATE - 11:07 a.m.

 

Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that the Phillies are acquiring right-handed pitcher McKinley Moore from the White Sox.   Moore was a 14th round pick from the 2019 draft.  

 

Prime Time Sports Talk describes Moore:

 

While the talented right-hander is not projected to make his MLB debut until 2023, his future is bright. He has a fastball that tops out in the high nineties and a slider that can be a plus pitch. When the 2022 season does begin, Moore will be looking to improve his consistency as he moves closer to the majors.

 

Eflin is looking good so far

You’d be surprised I don’t trust this bullpen and Nola sucks now

I’m concerned with the starting rotation, to start the season.  Doesn’t appear like they’re getting a lot of work and in a shortened spring to begin with.  Bullpen is going to be tested, early.

There is virtually no SP depth in AAA or AA behind the 5 man rotation. Phillies will be in a world of hurt if a long term injury pops up in their rotation.

Heyooooo

 

 

Ive been saying this.   I knew his arm was going to be an issue. He probably needs Tommy John 

Dodgers just traded for Kimbrel

I think he's on the decline, as well 

 

 

 

Stott at +900 for ROY is actually pretty nice odds 

Whats the floor and ceiling for this team?

Floor - 90 wins?

Ceiling - NLCS? 

Womp Womp Womp

Predict the total # of homeruns by those five - I say 165

It’s Stress fracture of his scapula. Gonna be out at least 2-3 months. And that’s if it heals properly and fast.

I hope you’re wrong  

Likely it’ll be somewhere between what we both said - last year they hit 145 between them.  I was counting on more out of JT and Schwarber this year

I hope im wrong also.  But averaging over 30 each.... If they do that it's going to be awesome to watch.
