Well, boy howdy. These winter meetings are actually turning out to have some news involved after all!
Actual, real baseball moves!
Of course by now, you are aware that the Phillies employ a new shortstop. Yes, those free wheelin’ Phils are adding to the ledger yet again, getting their man without having to give up a draft pick, something that was clearly a goal. But, were you aware of what kind of impact he’ll have on the team? I’LL BET NOT!
I’ve seen some grumblings and rumblings around the interwebs about how this doesn’t really push them any closer to the playoffs, how they should continue to spend, how this isn’t a playoff team yet, etc.
