March 15, 20224 yr 2 hours ago, What The F said: Freeman or bust! He is going to Toronto, Los Angeles or Yankees
March 15, 20224 yr 32 minutes ago, Blazehound said: Works for me. Get him out of the division. Olson is just as good at the plate, a better defender and younger.
March 15, 20224 yr Jim Salisbury on WIP just said that he's anticipating a big signing this week Mentioned Bryant, Schwarber and Castellano

Yes, 2021 was also Olson’s best year in the majors, at 27. 2020 was also arguably his worst. We’ll see if he can maintain his 2021 level of play. Braves definitely gave up a haul of prospects for him.

He had similar numbers to last season in 2019 His strike out rate last year was considerably lower than any of his previous years. I’m curious to see if he maintains that but he is a damned good player.
March 15, 20224 yr Not seeing Phillies in the mix for Seiya Suzuki. Wish we were. I'd give him a 9 year deal with escalating salary. Team options after 3 and 6 years. Player option after 6 yrs. Castellanos, Shwarber, Bryant: How much money do we have left? Can we get 2 of these guys. Yes, I want all 3, but I'll settle for 2. Matt Chapman from the A's: Just pull the trigger. We have a lot of holes to fill. Pitching: We could use a quality starter and more work to be done filling out the bullpen. Aside from the ballpark being half empty, is there a reason we can;t go over the Luxury Tax threshold? It's just money.

March 15, 20224 yr 3 hours ago, e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! said: I hope it’s Bryant. Bowden said this today If this is true, then Bryant should definitely choose the Phillies. Say what you want about Middleton, he wants to win but unfortunately has chosen the wrong people to lead his organization over the last several years. He spends money (not luxury tax money like we all want but close to it) in getting guys like Harper, Wheeler, and resigning JT. The Rockies owner signed Nolan Arenado and then traded him like 2 years later. Who knows how dedicated they are to field a winning team. Plus, he is best buddies with Bryce.

I was thinking the along the same lines. I think maybe Bryant and his agent are using Colorado to maximize the offer from Philly.
March 16, 20224 yr Jayson Stark was on 97.5 and said that he's hearing that Bryant doesn't want to play in Philly and that Schwarber is probably the more likely option

March 16, 20224 yr 4 hours ago, iladelphxx said: Jayson Stark was on 97.5 and said that he's hearing that Bryant doesn't want to play in Philly and that Schwarber is probably the more likely option I’m pretty sure the same thing was said with Harper before we went and signed him. There was a rumor he just didn’t want to come to Philly and that’s why he was going to go to SF.
March 16, 20224 yr Hear me now. Believe me later. Now is the time to compete for free agents. It's put up or shut up time. Spend the money to build a winner. We didn't have enough hitting last year. Now, they've added the DH. The deficit just got bigger. We need to pay money because the talent evaluation for drafts was deficient and minor leagues are not producing. Get these deals done.
March 16, 20224 yr 22 minutes ago, iladelphxx said: I don’t understand this at all, especially considering the very team friendly deals they got for Acuna, Ozuna, and Albies.
March 16, 20224 yr I think I read somewhere that Schwarber was one of the most shift-affected hitters over the past few years.
