    why do i think the same people in the Philly area who don't want to include Sanchez in this or any deal are the same folks who said you can't include Kyle Drabek in a Roy Halladay deal?  Middleton clearly wants to win sooner than later.  Harper signs by Valentines day.
    The Drabek stuff was dumb, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't trade 6 potential years of Sixto plus secondary pieces for 2 of Realmuto when you have a serviceable catcher.  

    I originally leaned towards the idea that they may be willing to do this because they aren't as likely to sign Harper as they once thought, but no ones anything. I still think they do, but if I were a GM with this team and planned on signing Harper, I keep those assets for down the road.

    if you think Alfaro was serviceable.  I like his potential bat but he was brutal defensively other than his cannon for an arm. him and Knapp struggled to actually catch the ball last year.

    and even if Sanchez becomes a star it's not like the Marlins will keep him forever.  they will trade off assets again at some point. maybe Jeter will hand deliver him to the Yanks down the line for ya.

    Why not just sign Ramos when you could've? This guy looks nothing more than average to me.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Couldn't they have done something with all of the leftover pieces?  Interesting article in The Athletic today about this situation.  Franco/Kingery/Williams/Herrera each could being bench fries depending on the scenario?

    If I'm bringing in Harper I'm trading Herrera immediately. Between Wiliams & Herrera I think you can get more for Herrera.  Kingery apparently they're going to treat as the superutility, but I honestly they should just commit to him at 2nd and trade Hernandez. Until then I think Kingery will be a good push for Franco so as not to get too lazy. As soon as Franco's stock rises even a smidge I'm selling immediately.

    As long as Quinn is here and not hurt (I know I'm hoping here) then he's leading off and playing Center.

    Heard rumors they may have been in the Realmuto deal, but no longer the case I guess (thank god). 

    So many Philly trades happening right now my head's gonna spin right off if another one happens.

    Good.  I'd like to see those two stay there and develop.

    Speaking of finger on the pulse - now this idiot is directly contradicting Heyman and Jim Bowden? I have no idea if that's good or bad, but given his history here I feel like it's a good thing Nightengale is saying the Giants are going to sign him.
