PhilaPhans

Big names out there and the Phils need a lot. No help coming from the farm system. Braves and Mets will be better........and the Phils are dumpster diving.

Lot of rumors. Seemed like the Phils might have been close to something, but it looks like they couldn't close the deal on anything substantial.

If they want a good defensive CF that can't hit, bring back Jankowski for one twelfth of the cost.

Boras is just smarter than most owners. Normally, his guys don't sign until late Feb./early March to maximize every option and squeeze the most money he can get. This year is different. He wanted to make sure he got top dollar for some of his guys before the agreement changes the rules, but is holdi...

I like Castellanos and Schwarber but you can't take both unless you are trading Hoskins, which we all know they aren't.

So frustrating to see all this baseball news and the Phils not involved in any of it.

I would like to have Bryant, especially since he'd come without compensation. I also think Bryant could play CF. He wouldn't be a Gold Glover, but he's probably be better than anyone they threw out there last year (except for Jankowski). I would also like to see the Phils look into Schwarber, who al...

I'm not saying I would go the 7-8 years Castellanos reportedly wants, but he's the best bat available. He can play LF until Hoskins becomes a FA and the Phillies are dead set on playing Bohm at 3B.

Castellanos is defensively challenged in the OF, but he certainly would be the hitter to protect Harper and down the road, probably moves to 1B.
