PhilaPhans

Castro has pop and five years of team control.

They may end up dumping Sosa this winter

I really like this deal. Falter essentially had no value to this team.
Castro vs LHPs
2023: .290/.368/.538
Career: .277/.341/.559
Should never ever face a RHP

Kingery had hopes and dreams for a good hour or so.

agree on Falter's lack of value so it's automatically a good deal

Is it? He's had a WHIP above 1.5 for the past year and a half.
They had the prospects to get anyone they want. Feels like they went cheap.

Basing it on potential more than recent performance

Trades could still trickle in but Phillies may have been weighing whether the prospect cost was worth paying to get someone who might not be a huge improvement over a Rojas/Cave platoon.

Ultimately, this season rests on Turner/Castellanos/Realmuto/Harper.

We shouldn't have to further weaken a weak farm to get a rental bat just to bail them out

Sure, but he's a rental. They didn't get any future control

You are right -I thought that he had 1 more year. These years fly by too quickly

Marlins get Josh Bell - so they added 2 bats

Segura & a prospect traded

More Marlins trades
