He said at the end "I'm coming into a team where we may have an even better chance of winning a WS". Austin... right now I wholeheartedly agree w/ you!

How much has Mayo played OF?  Seems like he's struggling to play 1B & 3B I don't want to add OF to that.

So you rather trade Mayo if he can’t play 1B & 3B ?    If not , he has to play somewhere eventually

Kinda seemed like a shot at the O’s saying the Phillies have an even better chance at the WS than they do. He very easily could have said he was going to the best team in the league without directly saying they are better than the O’s.

I’m sure he’s a bit salty he became a platoon bat but he got out played by almost every other OF’er on their current roster, as well as Stowers. If he played better, there’s a better chance he isn’t traded.

I agree … But sadly don’t have a good defensive LF unless you play the kid we just got back in the trade that can’t hit. I question the trade decisions… you moved Hays due to his poor offense and picked up a kid that can’t be sent down who is worse! Where is the logic in that? I challenge anyone here to argue that Kjerstad is a good defensive OF and fast enough to play LF here!

He may be salty but he’s right. Phillies have a lot better chance

Marsh can flex to CF like Cowser.     I hope Hays gets a clean look at returning to closer to an everyday role.

Roch on the pregame show went to the place of wondering aloud if Hays' agent asked for a trade.    Ulitmately whether Dombrowski tenders Hays or not, Austin can use playing time to establish his place in the 2025 market, or how high the Bid/Ask will be for Arb.

A few minutes later, Melanie featured that  Mullins and Hays had picked up a charitable effort Gibson did last year, an organization having an event this weekend Cedric will now have to do alone.

I'll go on the record now and say Hays is going to play basically every day for them and be a solid upgrade over what they've been getting in the OF.
I also think there's a much better chance he gets tendered than we pick up the option on the relief pitcher.

That said, while I was "meh" on this trade, it'll be judged on how well Kjerstad plays in increased opportunities, and whether Dominguez performs well in our pen.

Good for Austin.  I dunno why people would be upset at all about what he said.   Of course he's going to say his new team has a "better chance".   What else would he say?

Not that he needs it, but I hope this puts a little chip on his shoulder and pushes him to be even better….so long as it’s not against us.

I wish him the best and I’m sad it ended here with some hard feelings. But, as of right now he has a better shot at playing in the World Series than here for a team that’s currently floundering.

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.

      Repeating this over and over doesn't make it any less dumb. It's still just as dumb as the first time you said it (which is MUCHO btw).

      Nestor German 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Nestor German finished his season in fine style, tossing four shutout innings on 4 hits, 0 walks, 6 strikeouts.  His final numbers: 73.2 IP, 1.59 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 11.0 K/9, 5.3 K/BB.  At Aberdeen, 1.78 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 11.7 K/9, 11.0 K/BB.   Terrific season that was interrupted for a month with an injury but he came back just as strong if not stronger.

      I’ve watched Travis Lakins Sr. serve up some home runs before, but never enjoyed one nearly so much as now…
