What would be the pre-deadline backup plan if Crawford really struggles? Is it just slide Marsh to CF and go with a Rincones/Kemp platoon in LF until they can make a trade?

If you want to acquire star free agents in the future, you’re gonna have to be willing to give opt outs. The most guaranteed money seemingly doesn’t carry the weight it did a few years ago.

That is absolutely the last thing they’re doing this offseason too. Just a front office devoid of creativity

lol nevermind

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become 1985 George Steinbrenner with a smartphone

What the fuck was he thinking? At best, he trolled his own fanbase even if it didn’t ultimately factor into Tucker’s decision.

Also, to be clear now you just need to bring back JT as well. It seems like he’s being a bit unreasonable if the Phillies offered three years and there’s a big gap so you don’t just completely cave but you try to make something work

Phillies had Ohtani in jail in the NLDS. They have the pitching firepower to be right there. The series was lost on the margins and because the offense died for 3/4 games. Go get that one last top of the order bat.
