Don't get me wrong, I love Ruben Amaro. But sometimes he talks to us like we are 5 year olds. Yes we realize getting Juan Soto does not guarantee anyone a World Championship.
Foul Territory, I enjoy your Phillies show and I am a Yankees fan here! I live in Jersey but been to Philadelphia many times. I think you are correct. The soto contract may be too high for Phillies to do with all the moves they have to make. I think the 11-year Trea Turner contract hurt the Phillies a bit. Trea Turner is a good player but Trea Turner is not the great number 2 man to Bryce Harper like Soto with Judge on the Yankees.
I think that one of the reasons why Dick Allen's career was so underappreciated and under recognized for the greatness it was is because the Phillies as a whole were so lousy for most of his career, people then and now overlook him because the team around him was no good and he never got the same level of praise from the media of his era that Clemente, Aaron, Mantle, Gibson, Drysdale & Koufax did
Philadelphia has never been a destination for latin Players. Doesn't amount to the rich history of yankees, dodgers, or Red Sox. Unfortunate truth when it comes to baseball in this city.
Discussion Question for the boys: People keep using the terms “chase rate” or “swing and miss”. Isn’t the real issue trying to hit a HR instead of just trying to put the ball in play. For example, seems like after Stott hit a heroic grand slam, he was always trying to hit a HR.
The over rated. Philly. President. GM. Got the team in bad money contracts bad signings. Will do very little in winter meeting. Most likely making the team have a new problem at. 3rd left and center must be replaced along with. 2 relievers and a starter
There's no reason economically speaking the Phils could not have gone after Soto. Last year Ohtani deferred the first 10 years of his LA deal so he will be getting $2mil/y til 2033 before the big money.. You're telling me the Phils could not have set up an offer similar to that?
