Price went up $20M once they realized Phils had to do SOMETHING so the story of the day wasn't Hamels to ATL.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡GRAN EQUIPO, BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would have preferred Hamels and Ryu if they could have made that work. Guessing Didi is getting the rest of the big money.

This is great. We needed pitchers. To get the 3rd best FA rules.

Wo. Ok. I hope we can figure out how to tap into that spin rate

Just getting the Mets stench off should lower his ERA by a full run.
Drunk and stupid is no way to be remembered but it is an easy way to forget.

Would like to see another mid-rotation guy added as well, but this is a good start.

We keep acquiring Mets
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

I ain’t gonna live forever. Need to stop wasting baseball seasons and get cracking. So I approve of anything that makes us better

Same boat. I really like Wheeler and what he potentially adds, but his injury history coming off a year where almost every Phillies FA pitcher in the last two years died of dysentery is something of a concern.

Wheeler was a top 10 pitcher over the last two years combined by fWAR, and top 15 individually in each year. What did you think he was going to sign for?
