Guaranteed thing that's happen in the Kiermaier talks: Phillies are asking Rays to select their picks of better prospect(s) in exchange for covering some of Kiermaier's remaining salary.

MLB Trade Rumors guessed Bryant would get 6/160, and their predictions have been pretty accurate thus far. You just have to do that. It's the market rate; no more, no less. He is the bat they need to get this offense back toward what it was in 2019, then you go find a CF (probably) and preferably a ...

I mean, if you want a cheap upgrade on CF defense, sign Kevin Pillar and bat him ninth. Spend your dollars on real bats

C Realmuto
1B Hoskins
2B Segura
SS Gregorious
3B Bryant
LF Schwarber
CF Pillar
RF Harper
DH Bohm

I like Schwarber a lot (think they should have picked him up last year to platoon with Cutch/be Cutch insurance) and have been asking for them to trade for Nicky C on like a yearly basis going back to when he was a prospect in rumored Hamels deals but getting them now when they're going to get big ...

I don't mind if they overpay for Schwarber, but I'll also only judge signing him in conjunction with whatever else they do, because LF/DH/emergency 1B does not give them the kind of positional flexibility of other potential signings.

Corey Knebel the perfect Phillies move, if the sign him: Get good press for a minor move that costs very little.

Great day, Phillies.
So proud. So psyched.

Still available: Correa, Freeman, Bryant, Story, Castellanos, Stroman, Baez, Schwarber, Taylor, Iglesias, Rodon, Rizzo, Soler, Jansen, K. Seager, Conforto, Kershaw, Kikuchi, Knebel, Greinke

Yeah, technically, there are still combos that make for a solid offseason for the Phillies, from among Bryant/Taylor/Schwarber/Stroman/Suzuki Maybe the best scenario is a 30+ day lockout in which the fans and media rip the Phillies for doing nothing & 2022 sales are slow, and then Midds decides ...
