August 22, 20251 yr B.S. I still think the competition across the league sux and they should GET RID OF 2 TEAMS.

I don’t think they need expansion if anything they need to contract teams like the Marlins or move them to a city with new ownership that cares. That said manfred and owners are going to add a Nashville team. Only debate is if the second team is Portland, SLC or Charlotte
August 22, 20251 yr with realmuto hitting as well as he has, there’s a realistic chance with how poor the free agent market is at catcher that some team is gonna give him a 3 to 4 year (this is likely Mutual option with buyout or club option so a fake 4th year) contract and probably something like 20 mil per season. I get he’s 35, but the way he’s hit the last three months of the year and lack of catching talent in FA, I could see him cashing in. With the orioles signing one of their catching prospects to a big extension, I think Adley Richman is going to be available and i wouldn’t be shocked if we are involved in trying to deal for him. I think the Phillies would love for JT to come back on like a 2 year 30-35 mil contract but don’t want to get into a 3 (with fake 4th year contract) at JT’s age. especially if rutschman who’s a 28-year-old catcher entering his prime and controllable for another couple years and will be cheaper in $. Question is what it would cost to get rutschman? I’m guessing someone like Escobar being the centerpiece.

I would offer him a 2-year deal with a club option for a third. If some team wants to overpay and/or give him a 4- or 5-year deal, then adios.

Look at the names in the FA market they are all bad cause Perez and Contreras have club options getting picked up. I don’t think he gets a guaranteed 4 but good chance he gets 3 with a club or mutual option with a buyout 4th. It’s a really crap catcher’s market in FA and he’s still playing at a high level consistently and the Phillies have literally Marchan and DJ Vibes as the only other options in house

August 22, 20251 yr Marsh starting to go back to what he was earlier in the year. Last 11 games he is hitting .172/.219/.207/426
August 22, 20251 yr New bat placement and stance for Stott working. Frankly they should’ve done this after his year last year and not waited another 4 months into the season to do so. Tbh this is why i said if he leaves Philly and gets a hitting coach to work with him i think he’d actually be better there.

I get instincts but with Duran on the mound odds are more likely he’s getting a ground ball out or a strikeout so just eat it.

August 23, 20251 yr Turner and schwarber were absolutely useless tonight. Both swinging at absolute crap all night.
