Kind of cool that the 2019 nats need up producing two of the worst contracts of all time
My misread, 58 games was the max he's played in a season (2021)2020 (LAA): 522021 (LAA): 582022 (LAA): 472023 (LAA): 432024 (LAA): 572025 (LAA): ?
That hater website says he's played in 257 games over his 5 years there...and without much success even when in the lineup...So how many games has St. Stephen played in for us over the past 5 seasons? Eight (
This was the latest I could find on Finnegan. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/kyle-finnegan-rumors-free-agent-closer-market-picking-up.html
there was a report the other day that he's looking for a contract around his arbitration number of $9 million or so.
Gallo to the White Sox on a minor league deal
Just getting the season ending injury out of the way early one of the great hater websites https://anthonyrendonthefttracker.com/
BRYCE HARPER, TREA TURNER AND THE PHILLIES’ CORE (7 VOTES): We introduced a new question in our survey this year: Which rosters — or core groups — are under the most pressure? The results were fascinating.The Blue Jays players (nine votes) won that one, too. But right behind them were the Phillies. It’s not hard to see why.They’re rocking the third-highest payroll in baseball. They’re coming off two straight postseason train wrecks. Yet for the second straight winter, their legendary team-builder, Dave Dombrowski, has doubled down on a roster built to win. So if this core group wants to stay together, it needs to win together.“They’re getting older,” said one voter. “Their core group of players is starting to age. (Kyle) Schwarber and (J.T.) Realmuto are free agents at the end of the year. I just feel a sense of urgency in a very difficult division.”
From The Athletic, in an article about which teams, GMs, or core groups of players are under the most pressure this season. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6137836/2025/02/17/mlb-pressure-index-teams-managers-front-office/
The Phillies have to win a World Series or that core is going to age like sour milk next few seasons.
They’ve had three straight playoff years and one World Series appearance. And likely to be competitive for 2-3 more years. This is the kind of thing fans of losing teams say to make themselves feel better. Hey in five years the Phillies might finish last so we can hold onto fourth place even when the Marlins get better. Also the luxury tax line is going up and they have an owner willing to spend. It’s better to be in that position even with soem aging contracts rather than have miserly owners.
It don't matter if you're head of the line in the package store for 5 years straight if all you leavin' with is wooder
They have a higher ranked farm system now too. It's a mistake to wait for the NL East to get less competitive.
My memories of the 2010's would be very different if Game 7 in the World Series ended up in a loss and all we had for our playoff memories were brutal playoff losses.
That's true as well...
