Honestly,  I'd love him and Bohm gone with Soto and players who aren't as flashy, but more consistent in their place. Marsh gives them nothing as well.

The issue with trading Alec Bohm is you have to find somebody to replace him. The free agent market besides Alex Bregman is not very good. Maybe the cardinals deal arenado straight up for Bohm. You take a chance with arenado on the decline owed good money for 3 more years. If not, I’m not so sure how they replace him. I think it’s much easier to replace Brandon marsh and Castellanos than Alec. Then again, I think Alec has the most trade value. I think Castellanos is more valuable to the Phillies than another team. If he is your 6 hitter, that’s a damn good 6 hitter. The problem is he’s not consistent enough to be your 4 hole hitter.

Yeah, it's not going to be easy, but changes need to be made and those are the obvious three.

I still cant get over how awesome Bohms season was until he turned into a freaking child who couldn't hit for sheet down the stretch 

Yeah, his attitude of flipping the F out and crying every time he slumps is getting old quick.

One thing about Castellanos, he always plays hard and shows up early to practice before games. He puts the work in. Honestly rather keep him and move Marsh for sure and even Alec if the return was good enough. Don't think Castellanos would get much of a return at this point due to age and contract.

Give Klentak credit for that trade. One of the few moves he made that actually worked out.

To be honest, klentak had some nice moves that really helped the Phillies now. That Zach Wheeler signing was terrific by him. Without him we being a ton of trouble. Technically, John Middleton got Bryce Harper, but he was the GM at that time. He also got Christopher Sanchez. The JT realmuto trade. Segura is no longer here but he contributed to that ws run.  Kind of reminds me of Ed Wade. where the team just never played well under him or couldn’t get the playoffs but once he left, there was guys there that helped them be a playoff team for 5 years.

Yeah, I agree mostly. I still give credit for Harper to Middleton. He was in on him when Mcphail and Klentak wanted Machado. Wheeler was a great signing. The huge difference between Klentak and Ed Wade was the homegrown players. Under Wade, they drafted and developed Hamels, Rollins, Utley, Burrell, and Howard. All of them having outstanding careers contributing to a world championship. Who did Klentak draft that you could say that would be in that same mold? Bohm? Meh, maybe. Stott? If he can get back to being a contact hitter, maybe. He's already a gold glove candidate. Haseley was a bust. Moniak was a bust.

His drafts were miserable. But his free agent signing/trades were actually solid when you look at it from a far. The issue with him was always their drafting was bad considering the fact for how bad they were. Missing with Haseley and moniak are just brutal. His three best picks were Stott, Bohm and O’hoppe. 

He wasn’t good after that but credit to him for trying to hit through it. Makes sense why he wasn’t good 

 

Please baseball gods i don’t ask for much 

 

I’d be irritated if they moved Harper back to OF for Alonso. At that point say F it and go all in and try to get vlad. Frankly should’ve done that last year with hoskins instead of what they did. So it makes no sense to do it now cause it contradicts what they said last offseason.

I traded ranger, marsh and abel to the jays for Vlad in mlb the show. He hasn't played well for me so far. So no to that! 

Sheet is like real life i strike out like 12 times a game, cant win unless i hit homeruns and cant score with RISP lmao! Killing it with turner at lead off and schwarber in the 4 spot and casty in the 8th where the fing belong! Still a .500 ball club lmao.
