Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 Continues Into Red October (2024 Edition)

Caba and Boyd.

First instinct was right. Caba is a big chip. Guess they don’t think he can hit.

[GKJ]

Seems fine to me

 

[Chinatown88]

Not sure how feel

Feels a little weird given that the rumored Cubs centerpiece was Triantos or Caissie?

 

[DancingPanther]

In a vacuum it's fine. It's exactly what teams should be doing to get over the hump. But in the Phillies' scope, WHYYYYY are we not trading Caba for a hitter.

Someone please hold me

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I like it.

In addition to Luzardo, league sources said the Phillies will receive Paul McIntosh, a 27-year-old minor-league catcher, from the Marlins.

Guess it depends what side of Caissie you fall on. Pretty divisive prospect.

I will say that this pretty clearly marks the end of Walker. That guy is OUTTA HERE

Wheeler
Sanchez
Nola
Luzardo and then Painter when Luzardo gets hurt again
Ranger

feels like 2011.

Oh noes

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Feel like Ranger may be on his way out.

 

[Rebels57]

Trade Ranger for a hitter now. His arm might be cooked anyway.

 

[Rebels57]

Buy low on Luis Robert Jr before someone else does.

Is Suarez bat bait? I vote a very light no, because of Luzardo's injury history. But you can't help but think

No

Ranger's arm isn't the issue, it was his back last year. Try doing anything with a sore back, let alone pitching. I'd bet he's a pretty safe bounce back candidate this season.

I don't think his first half of the season is his norm btw. I think his baseline is an effective if not all star caliber pitcher

You sure?

Yes, they can have him

Yeah there's a chance going into his walk year. Or they could use him in the first half and if/when Painter is ready, Ranger becomes a trade chip at the deadline if he performs.

Yes, they can have him

MVP runner up season incoming.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Not sure how to feel. On the surface it’s fine; a win now type of move and it gives us one of the strongest rotations in baseball. I wouldn’t be against trading Ranger for a hitter depending on who the hitter is.

To go against the grain and be a cup half full guy, the bottom half of the lineup was like historically bad. It would be hard to match that collective of ineptitude again. Still, I’d want a shakeup in the bottom half of the lineup

meh

Its the same lineup. Its gonna be historically ineffective once again.
