Phils Offseason 16-17

[PhillyPhreak54]

You're giving teams too much credit broham

[MDS]

Maybe every other franchise in the Major Leagues realizes he's not worth a long term deal much less a one year gift of 17+ million?

its because teams outside the top 10 of the draft would have to give up a 1st round pick to sign him. hes not getting 17 mil per year on the open market on a 3 year deal...thats just what the QO is.

even more so the new cba figures to remove the draft pick penalty so helly was looking at a very limited market. if he has another good year, hes going to feel like a nice cheap steal with the ridiculous 2018 fa class.

Gostisbehere is a healthy scratch tonight.

agreed.

True but this is the Phillies, so you'll get Brussel sprouts with your prime rib and like it, Mister.   

[smeags]

speaking of nasty brussel sprouts - my sister always makes them for thanksgiving. sautéed with onions and bacon.

yeah, ill have a heaping pile of those, just hold the brussel sprouts please.

[Rome]

A woman in my office nuked a dish full of those things several years ago.   It smelled like dirty ass and vomit combined.   Seriously from that moment on brussel sprouts were forbidden in the office. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Same category as people who nuke fish in an office. Die.

Any legs to these JD martinez rumors?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Asche DFAd for some lefty pitcher from Texas

[MDS]

Any legs to these JD martinez rumors?

god i hope not

hes going to be 30, has played more than 125 games just once in his career and will be need a new contract in 2018. it doesnt make a lick of sense for them.

if you want to think outside the box, think justin upton. hes the same age as JD and not nearly as good, but he doesnt really get injured and might be attainable as a simple salary dump. JD would cost prospects. he makes more sense to go to a team ready to win right now.

[PhillyPhreak54]

That's what I am wondering is what it would cost to get him. He's got power but the injuries are a concern as is the type of deal he will want
