I think you're right! And then they'll get a lefty starter, and start trading some players and prospects. :D
Phillies are set in starters.They want to look at their young pitchers for another season.

I agree Snowdog. If this FO has any competence to them, they would provide a pitch to both Harper and Machado that would wow them into signing but this FO is so incompetent and confused they get effed-over by other clubs who have FOs that are all on the same page and are focused on winning a title.

For some reason the Phillies may pursue Moustakis as a 3rd base option. It irks me to think that they would give up on Franco. Give him a full season at 3rd. This could be his break out year. He is capable of 30 homers and might hit around .280 or so. Just a gut feeling!

Yeah, I've never understood the rumors that he's a backup option if they don't get Machado. I don't see how he provides anything more than Franco (even if he doesn't breakout further from what he did last year) and comes cheaper.

Phillies are now in the Realmuto hunt. May be willing to trade Alfaro and a top tier minor league pitcher prospect.
Realmuto under control for 2 more years.

I like it, retro, but I did have my heart set on watching Alfaro progress into a great hitter. But heck, we'll get a pennant and I can always tune into Marlins games.

Cesar gets on base. He will be leadoff. If not, I will put WD-40 on flexes weights!

I can't help but wonder. What goes through the minds of free agents holding out for 300 million dollars. Put me in their place and I would gladly sign now for 235 to 250 million. I would never be able to spend it all anyway. Plus it would ease my mind. Both Harper and Machado are playing a game to see who signs first and who gets the most.

Prices on palaces, land, Ferarries, Bugattis, and jewelry are always going higher. If you're 25, you gotta have it all now!

Would you come out of your room with 250 million to spend?
