ninjapirate Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) What are you guys hoping for this offseason? Maybe a Bryce Harper- clear reasons to want to bring him in Marwin Gonzalez - can play all around the field can fill in any holes that form from underperforming younger guys Yusei Kikuchi- Heard the phillies want to have more of a presence in japan and overseas in general. Could be a good starting point and also give them the lefty starter they need. Zach britton- If he returns to form he's the closer we need if he doesnt he's the lefty bullpen arm we need. type haul? I mean we have the money to do all those things and probably realistically. Edited November 10, 2018 by ninjapirate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBreezy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I definitely want in on Harper. He's kind of a jackass, but he's a hard-nosed player who will fit in well in the city of Philly. Plus he absolutely rakes in CBP Please can we trade Santana? Rhys needs to play 1st, and I don't want that bum playing 3rd (awful idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mm6492 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Moving Santana would be good, just don't see Klentak doing it. Move Rhys to 1st Trade Santana Sign Harper Sign/trade for a starter Add some bullpen pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguy1609 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 reportedly were shopping Santana, with the idea of bring Hoskins back to 1st. We def need another SP, I also wouldn't be upset if we sign a closer and keep them there all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 30 year old coming off his worst year as a pro. I wonder if we sign a starting pitcher if we can't groom pivetta for that role. His high velocity and great breaking ball might make him a rather good closer. Edited November 23, 2018 by ninjapirate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguy1609 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-storylines-heading-into-thanksgiving/c-300961160?tid=282421090 Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Phillies have expressed interest in Jean Segura and Edwin Diaz. The Phillies are believed to be one of the top pursuers of Manny Machado and have also been linked to Craig Kimbrel. A deal for Segura or Diaz -- possibly both if things get crazy -- would cost far less in salary, but would also require Philadelphia to give up prospects. The Mariners appear to be open to dealing Segura, but reportedly believe Diaz is a part of the long-term solution. Any deal made with Segura would also require him to waive his no-trade clause. He's signed through 2022 with a club option for 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could trade for Diaz. cody Allan, Andrew Miller, David Robertson Romo, Greg Holland are some Fa's rp's who could close... I wouldn't mind Pivetta closing either. I just want Gabe to say player X is going be closer all year and not mix and match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people say closer, I assume they mean a guy that comes in and gets the last however many outs. If the bases are loaded in the 7th in a one-run game, with one out. I want our best reliever to go in then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonu62882 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Can we get Harper and then Trout (when he comes available)? That would be sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
