I think a 3rd spot on the 40 man opened when they traded Galvis

says he was surprised the Phils were interested in him, thinks the Phils are in a spot similar to the 2013 Indians

What a bro hug between Kap and Carlos to end it.

gelb on how the deal came to be

“They are rewarding him for things that, maybe historically, aren’t necessarily rewarded,” Cabrera, the agent, said. “You’re talking about a guy who doesn’t jump out as a big home-run guy. But you look at what the Astros have done to turn their team into a winner — they increased their on-base percentage, they reduced their strikeout rate, they increased their defensive runs saved — that’s exactly what Carlos does. Their analytical group identified those key components. That’s why they were as aggressive as they were.”
