The Phillies can’t keep signing age 30+ free agents to long term deals. It hasn’t worked and it’s not sustainable. That’s why I think it’s likely the Phillies do little this offseason, allow the young kids to come up in 2026 and direct their FA dollars to 2026 once JT, Schwarber, Alvarado and Strahm come off the books. Casty and Walker contracts will also be much easier to move with 1 year remaining at that time. 2026-2028 could be their new window, while still competing in 2025.

And waste the last years of prime Harper and Turner? This further proves how damn stupid last offseason was.

I hear you but I don’t think their performance will nose dive only after one year. We’ll see. I hope they at least sign or trade for a legit LF.
December 8, 20241 yr Kind of think the white Sox might wind up being in the same spot as they were with Robert jr. Where the pricetag is too rich and they don’t trade him. Doesn’t help his camp said he wanted an extension last year if he was traded and he has 2 controllable years left
December 9, 20241 yr BREAKING: Superstar outfielder Juan Soto and the New York Mets are in agreement on a 15-year, $765 million contract, sources tell ESPN. It is the largest deal in professional sports history. No deferred money.
December 9, 20241 yr That contract is insanity. He’s extremely talent but not that talented. Little chance that contract pays off.

Frankly, I think there’s a good chance Soto ia opting out of that contract after five years at 31. If he is still hitting the way he’s hitting now, then I suspect somebody will still give him a 10 year contract of at least 500 million which is essentially what he’d have left on the contract. I’m guessing he’d get more than that simply due to the money keeps going up and up. that said Harper’s contract looks like a steal lol
