What Changes Can The Philadelphia Phillies Realistically Make This Offseason?

1. I hope Painter is ready next year. If he's everything we think he is, that would help us out a lot for our 5th starter.

2. Call up Marchan. I would feel bad getting rid of Stubby tho..

3. I would really hate to move Casty… Rojas could be someone to upgrade. With our luck , he'll start smoking home runs if we trade him. I like Marsh a lot… started the season great and just kinda stopped hitting. I think if he played everyday he'd be a better hitter, period. But do they want to take that chance… Austin Hays is a movable piece for sure. Sosa could be an everyday guy on any other team, just don't think a team would offer enough.

And no, Dombrowski didn't do his job this trade deadline… he had a few more options but didn't seal the deal. When we faced Estevez when he was with the Angels, Rojas smoked a homer off him and in the same game someone else took him deep too. We should have seen the signs. Bet underwhelming trade deadline acquisitions.

5. Don't run it back again

6. Moves I'd like to see: Move on from Long, number 1 move. Do away with this homerun or bust mentality. I'd like to see Soto in a Philly uniform, but his price tag has me not insanely confident of that happening. The last move is trading for either Helsley or Mason Miller (Helsley seems more realistic out of the two)

7. Next year if the Phillies keep going backwards and not make the post season then would you be surprised? I just do not trust this team any more. After going to games for over 70 years this is the most I am pissed off. I wasn't this mad in 1964.

8. Turner gonna hit .315 next year 😂

9. We need hitters that can walk and work count. No more low average homerun high strikeout guys. Also, for the love of god trade Taijuan Walker for a bag of baseballs at this point,.

10. Gone: Topper, Long, Rojas, Bohm and Hays.
    In: Bregman, Santander and Jordan Montgomery.

11. Put Turner in CF

12. The Phillies are losers and Philadelphia is a loser city! The first point is proven by the fact that the franchise has existed since 1883 and has only won two World Series. The second point is proven by the fact that they have never widened the Schuylkill Expressway!!!

13. Seattle needs a 3B and a bat and has been willing to swap large contracts in the past and are deep in starting pitching. Bohm and Walker for Luis Castillo. Would see if they would throw in Andres Munoz if Phillies add Mick Abel to the package. Mariners can develop starting pitching and get the 3B they need, Phillies get some insurance for the rotation especially with question marks surrounding both Painter and Rangers health and add an outstanding bullpen piece. Phillies can reunite Aaron Nola with his old college roomate and proven post season performer Alex Bregman. They can be especially greedy and make a run at Japanese star pitcher, Roki Sasaki and maybe flip Castillo.

14. Those long term contracts can really back a team into a corner, unless you've got Steve Cohen's money, and just eat it for the good of the team.

15. Locked on Phillies, Nice channel. I am pretty surprised the Mets handled the Phillies this way. Since the Phillies had such a great regular season. Many predicted the Phillies would go all the way and win the world series. Still a big market team. I am a Yankees fan by the way. But the Phillies as long as they have Bryce Harper you can build around him.
