Paps to Nats?

[northeastphillyguy]

Rumors have it that the Nats want Paps. They would move Storen back to a setup role and make Paps the closer. The Phillies would get a Double AA pitcjher in return. We will know soon. The Phillies have told all teams interested in Hamels to make their best offer by Weds. The Phillies have changed Hamels next start to Friday in lieu of Thursday in case he is traded. Most teams are still trying to give us crap in return. We need a catcher and an outfielder with power. Also a pitcher or two would help as well. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET A SOLID RETURN FOR HAMELS. If not just keep him.

Done deal

Details have still yet to be released. It looks like he will be taking less money provided that he remains the closer in 2016.

All I can say is Thank God the Papelbon era is over

The Phillies acquire Nick Pivetta. He was the fifth highest rated pitcher in the Nats system coming into the season. I'm happy

Pap the Nat. Pivetta is a big guy 6'5", 220 lbs, RHP. From BC. Stairs will like that. He was 21-15, 3 yrs, mostly A, 3.60, 201K, 90BB. Not too shabby.

"I'm a Nicka Pivetta and I belong in Philly. See yous goys on south street." I think he'll fit in fine.

Not a bad deal.
