2024-2025 Philadelphia Phillies Off-Season Thread - (Bohm News - 11/12)

I have a feeling that Dom is gonna make some changes but he has to praise everyone to maintain leverage and value.

I understand keeping the staff. I have been telling everyone that it's the players' stubbornness, not the hitting coach. I saw the Nationals approach when he was there and they were a contact team that worked counts and used the entire field. I knew they've been preaching a better approach but too many players are slaves to what they feel got them to the bigs. So when they struggle, they listen less. That now must change.

yeah agree, i think there will be changes but they aren't going to say it now in October. Plenty of offseason.

as a fan, i think vibes, daycare, signing Harper's buddies and dancing on my own have to go.

Not sure I like the idea of trading away what little young talent this team has when the rest of the lineup is well over 30.

They need to move Castellanos or Schwarber or Turner, even with the heavy contracts but include some prospects to sweeten it.

Yeah man let’s make both the current team and farm system worse at the same time. Seems like a terrific idea.

The current team is getting older and is giving diminishing returns. Neither Castellanos nor Schwarber is the lynchpin of a title team, they've had 3 runs at it. They can't keep running it back and expect a different result.

Prospects are suspects until they actually do something. Prospects have been traded for the entire history of MLB. You can afford to part with a few prospects, not all, to get the kinds of players that will move this team forward.

Your point makes little to no sense. You have to improve a team that is getting worse. Harper only has so much left.
