The Winter Meetings have begun and we’ve got a whole lot of nothing.
You know what would make a good post? If we posted and talked about all the crazy rumors that are posited by those online. Some are actually
alright in their nature, if woefully one-sided for the Phillies. Others look like people are just trying to play MLB The Show.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- The team has revamped how they are scouting in Japan. Now, they just need a player to sign on the dotted line ($).
- Imagine if the Mets were to outbid the Phillies for the services of Kyle Schwarber ($)? It’s not out of the realm.
MLB news:
- Count the Red Sox, Rays and Tigers among the teams that have looked into trading for Ketel Marte. This one feels like it’s going to happen.
- Former Rangers owner Tom Hicks passed away yesterday at age 79. I’ll never forget where I was when he gave Alex Rodriguez a quarter billion dollars.
- Jeff Kent is finally going to Cooperstown, earning his way into enshrinement via the Contemporary Committee Vote.
