And he’s definitely a little EMO head case. So that didn’t help much. Tbh it’s not like guys like hasley, moniak or kingery even after gabe was gone have gotten better playing more and the Phillies trying to develop them. Stott has a chance. But bohm is really the only one they’ve had success with their own prospects getting better with more mlb experience. tbh that’s my biggest concern in that logic. If we had shown more ability to do it with our own guys I’d be much more for it.

Cody Ashe, Aaron Altherr, Franco, Dom Brown of course. It's hard to remember the last prospect that actually became an above average player besides Nola.

Feels like the last time the Phillies had a great farm system was 2000-2006 where they had utley, rollins, Howard, hamels, Madson and had a rule 5 of victorino and international market with Carlos Ruiz development. Not talked about nearly enough is how bad our international market spending and development has been. We’ve not had a player come through in that area in what seems like forever
August 2, 20224 yr Problem is rodon is a able to opt out this offseason and likely does if healthy considering how he’s pitched and can make more than 22.5 mil next year. So the issue comes down to overpaying for a possible rental also that last sentence of the tweet is horrifically worded
August 2, 20224 yr Witholding judgement on the 2nd prospect But if we got Syndergaard, Robertson and Marsh without giving up any top prospects besides O'Hoppe, that's way better than what I was expecting.
August 2, 20224 yr Just saying I’d love to play the Mets in a series and syndergaard and wheeler eliminated the Mets.
August 2, 20224 yr I kinda like these moves - not giving up anyone too notable and getting back some pitching and defense
August 2, 20224 yr I was afraid the price for Syndergaard was going to be higher. I’m good with this.

The asking price was reasonable. The Phillies are better today than yesterday. They are not better than the dodgers, padres, Mets or Braves but they are closer to being able to upset them in a series.
