What is the story about?
Maybe
we just don’t value catching prospects in the same way that major league teams do. I would have thought someone like Harry Ford would have been worth much more than what the Mariners got for him, but Jose Ferrer is nothing to sneeze at either.
We’ll never know what the Phillies could have dealt, will we?
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- As the Winter Meetings begin, all eyes are on the pair of J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber as the team tries to re-sign both of them.
- The Rule 5 draft is this week and these are three prospects that the Phillies are in danger of losing to other teams.
MLB news:
- As mentioned before, the Mariners and Nationals finished a trade that saw Jose Ferrer going to Seattle and Harry Ford going to Washington.
- It was thought that Zac Gallen was headed to the Cubs yesterday, but it turns out there was merely reported interest from Chicago in the right hander.
- The Marlins are open for trade business this week, but if you want Eury Perez, then you better back away, buster.
