January 21, 20214 yr They have to be doing this to drive up the price, right? Probably leaked by his agent

He became that when the Phillies were dumb enough to trade away sixto and assumed the best catcher in baseball wouldn’t ask for that type of contract. So if he walks away and you lose him and sixto then the Phillies are the ones you should take that up with that he isn’t. also point is if you are offer 110 what difference is 8 million more over 5 years? So the 1.6 million each year is really what’s stopping you? Come on. If you are already willing to commit to overpaying him (which they are at 110) drastically the 1.6 million extra per year is going to be your breaking point?

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.

I personally wouldn’t give him more than 100. Agreed it was stupid and idiotic not to sign him at the time of the trade. However that’s what makes his value to the phillies increase more cause they have nothing if he walks from that trade and it looks disastrous for the organization. He might not be worth 110 million however the Phillies putting themselves in that position gives his agent that leverage cause they know it’s an awful look from the Phillies. Especially when sixto was ranked the no. 1 pitching prospect in baseball by baseball America I’d agree i wouldn’t. However the Phillies already shown they are being irresponsible with the money offering him 110. If they are ridiculous enough to go to 110 to begin with and overpay since they are already showing to be fiscally irresponsible might as well just go 8 mil more over 5 and just get it done and over with. I don’t think he’s worth 118 however he’s not worth 110 and I’m not going to potentially lose him over 1.6 mil per year when they clearly committed to overpaying him anyway. There’s a line in the sand. Frankly 1.6 million per year extra isn’t it. If they came in at 90-100 million and he wanted 118 then i could understand its 5.6-3.6 mil extra per year. However the Phillies came in at 110.

January 26, 20214 yr Thank god. This year would have been tough without JT. At least we will have a watchable team now. Could be half decent with a few more good moves.
