It's not my money - I'd be fine with it

I just don't see them willing to do it

[FolesMVP09]

Mets would be thrilled to get Scherzer's salary off the books and go after Ohtani

[Christopher]

We'll let's see HOW desperate they are.
For the "privilege" to pay Scherzer an ungodly sum next year, I'll take Pham and/or Robertson, too

Also, from a practical standpoint, a single year of Scherzer in 2024 might be just what we need as a bridge to let the kids develop and still contend

Scherzer (final year)
Wheeler (final year)
Walker
Suarez
Painter/Abel

Solves the biggest offseason problem

[FolesMVP09]

We all know that Robertson would go back to sucking if he came here again

[Christopher]

Pham would be interesting though. Harper at 1B, Schwarber at DH, Pham/Pache in LF

[FolesMVP09]

This team just sucks with RISP

[bigel57]

It is beyond time to sit Harper. Right now he is an automatic out.

[FolesMVP09]

Sit Harper for who?

You have to keep playing him and hope that he starts hitting better - benching him is not happening, nor should it.

[FolesMVP09]

Coming into this game, Phils 26th in OPS with RISP

[bigel57]

Sit Harper for who?

You have to keep playing him and hope that he starts hitting better - benching him is not happening, nor should it.

Then move him down in the order. He is killing this team.
