December 17, 20241 yr Howie needs to seriously be the GM of the Phillies. The trade deadline is over when FA kicks in and he should have the time. DD is trash from the Sox. Running this team back again is BS.

Their scouting department has actually been pretty good at finding these types of relievers, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt People also said the same thing about Marte, coonrod, Luis Ortiz and Nick Nelson…. its a mixed bag by the Phillies since Dombrowski took over. The fact of the matter is your bullpen is currently worse than last year. relying on a guy with an elbow issue last year as the only one you’ve signed to replace Hoffman and estevez is not exactly good enough. This team played .500 baseball for 2/3 of the season, the fact is they were a mediocre baseball team majority of the season. And yet they are worse today right now and we don’t want to go over tax threshold of 301 mil (apparently currently at 289 mil according to zolecki and Salisbury). So it’s likely going to be run it back with cheaper signings hoping they pan out
December 20, 20241 yr Whit or Austin hays 2.0! so marsh a left handed bat and he’s a left handed bat.

December 20, 20241 yr With the way this offseason of not spending crap is going, he's going to be your everyday left fielder and they're going to try to sell the offense being improved through being healthier and moving guys around in the lineup. They seem to have no desire to spend much at all this offseason, it seems pretty obvious to me at this point.

December 20, 20241 yr Here's the other strange part. Kepler had an off-year last season but his prior 3 seasons were worthy of the contract $. But, he bats left and we wanted bats right. Now to make it even more interesting: we dumped Hays who had a bad illness/injury marred 2024, but was better 2021-2023 than Kepler, was cheaper, bats RH, is 3 years younger, and has more OF positional flexibility than Kepler, but would have cost us fewer $. The only thing that makes sense is if they plan to trade Casty or Marsh, otherwise, this signing is crap.

He’s useless and on the books for another two years. That’s probably another good bullpen arm if we don’t give him that money.
December 21, 20241 yr Thankfully, we signed a guy who was injured last year and 32 so could be on the decline for basically $20 million. Add on our bullpen move is hoping Alvarado bounces back and relying on a guy who had surgery on his elbow and missed majority of 2024 lol
December 21, 20241 yr Cool, another season of chasing pitches outside the zone, no true clean up hitter, Bohm throwing temper tantrums, Walker with a 6+ ERA, bullpen worse than last year and a wildcard first round exit when the entire lineup goes ice cold. Im trying to figure out what Dombrowski has done so special. He keeps running it back slightly worse each year for the last couple years then telling us FAs cost too much. What happened to the stupid money thing from Middleton... Guess he just meant Harper and Turner. Dumbrowski is useless.
