Wasn't it just a couple years ago that he was the primary rising star in Philly? And now, after the latest developments in his rapid slide into the gutter, he is probably never going to be seen in a Phillie uniform again.

Well, this sucks.

If it's true, I have to sit down with my four-year-old daughter and tell her that her favorite ballplayer is a piece of shit.

Fortunately for the Phillies, they attached team options to buy out his contract in 2022 and 2023. Still though, he has a guaranteed 25 million coming to him through 2023.

The guy was always a streaky hitter. He'd go into funks where it looked like he couldn't hit A-ball pitching, and then he'd flip a switch and hit .400 for a month.

It looked to me like some other parts of his game were starting to come together this year, though. And this sucks, because I always liked watching him play.

Just be glad your four-year-old daughter has a favorite player. Obviously you are raising her right. Now you just need to help her fine tune her judgment of character. Segura is a bit of an asshole too. Maybe guide her toward 'Cutch or Aaron Nola.

Her other shirsey right now is Rhys Hoskins. Assuming he doesn't go all Wifey McBeaty, that might be an OK road to stick to.

Harper will keep Hoskins reining in. I know Harper can be eccentric and annoying but underneath it all the guy has pretty strong morals and values. He's a Mormon, like Halladay was.

Damn, just had to check out Philly Twitter to see what this was about.

Liked me some O-Dub

Nah, just have Brett Myers come in to mentor him.
My brother and I had seats behind home plate for his first game back. There were a lot of "he's pounding the strike zone like his wife's face" and "you would have beat that throw to first if it were your wife" quips out of us that game.

Bad enough to perma ban him from sports?

Who knows anymore...sometimes when these cases seem so open and shut, the team stands behind the player. Other times, with flimsier evidence, they act swiftly and decisively to distance themselves.

So this just in: Herrera placed on "administrative leave" by the team.

Isn't that what they do to cops when there's an investigation??
