    I read that they totally lowballed Hamels. Only offered him 9 million for one year while Atlanta offered him 18. 
    I bet he would've taken around 15 million maybe. I'd have done that for one year for sure. 
    No idea, but based on Gelb saying that they're sticking to this bullshit self-imposed cap then that salary doesn't fly. Sounds like Didi is gonna take up ~15 of the ~20 they're "under the cap". I don't see how they don't sign him. Other than that, sounds like they're banking on Arrieta being a 3, Eflin turning it around, and then after all that dice rolling they're also hoping that Vince or Pivetta can fill in the 5 spot. Oh, plus having to go the bargain route on 3 or 4 relievers.
    Yeah I don’t get it. Spend what it fucking takes. Unless it’s the other owners holding them back? 
    I would hope that's the case after all this bluster this guy as been throwing - from what Gelb wrote, even though Middleton has a majority (51%) ownership he still has to go through the bureaucracy of the remaining owners. Otherwise, money is the only advantage they have to even remotely consider competing next year. 
    Let's hope they sign Didi soon. I'm good with then putting Segura at third and Kingery at 2nd and letting them see what Hasely can do in center next year. 

    Gotta get another starter. You think Keuchel is a possibility?

    Based on what they're saying about this luxury tax nonsense I don't think so. Possibility, maybe, but probability, no. I honestly think someone like Didi is their last splash. After that they're gonna ride with the pitchers/rotation they have and then take flyers on hard-throwing non-tendered relievers for the bullpen. All that said, I'll feel a lot better with this team if they sign Didi.

    Well Bobby Nightengale seems to disagree with Matt Gelb and says the Phils are making Rendon their "number 1 target."

    Guess this means we're signing Anthony Rendon.

    This one year deal makes me think there's something else to come.

    He’s betting on himself having a big comeback year. I think it’s a smart move by him
