Wonder if Macphail steps in and trades Hamels & Howard before the deadline…..

He does not really have a say in anything this year. He is under an evaluate and learn period for next 3 months. That being says, Gillick is running this show currently and he will definitely use MacPhail as an advisor in this period.

Love what Hart and Coppy have done. I don’t think the Braves will make the playoffs but as a fan, appreciate the effort to try, while keeping two eyes towards the future. I will be interested to see what kind of moves they make before the deadline.
Matt Galvin
The Mets will,find some way to,get a SS at deadline even if it’s Zobrist type and offer Montero as start to package. Matz is off limits.

Seriously, how is Atlanta so good? They literally traded their entire outfield, starting catcher, and world class closer for barely any major league ready talent, and are still in the midst of a race

Clearly you don’t understand the power of not having Melvin Upton Jr. on the team. But seriously, they should be the Phillies right now and are still right there. There is no way I see them being buyers at the deadline though.

“They literally traded their entire outfield, starting catcher, and world class closer for barely any major league ready talent”
Huh?
Reexamine the trades there. With exception to the Gattis trade, John Hart was careful to ensure that he was receiving MLB-ready talent in all his deals.

“[John Middleton] owns the single largest stake in the club (48%)”
But I thought David Montgomery has the largest stake?

That changed quite some time ago. It happened not long before (if my memory is correct) Montgomery stepped down because of his medical condition which also fueled rumors that Middleton was making a play to become a majority owner. I am not defending RAJ as I know the Phillies could do much better without him but things have run much smoother since Montgomery stepped down. At has been widely reported that he was a puppet master and the one behind the huge contracts and early extensions of Howard etc. He also insisted on keeping aging players but as GM, RAJ gets all the blame.

Yes. You get it. A lot of the moves made previously were pushed by Monty.

To be fair…Howard was running neck and neck with Pujols, and if he wouldn’t have completely fallen off a cliff he’d have had just about the exact right contract length…while Pujols will be driving a golf cart and still be getting paid.

The new data system in Philly will be named Fanatalytics

Alderson’s project of Flores is pretty clear right now, look at how he is falling apart, he can’t even handle a half-year playing in the major leagues. Thank you Sandy for your excellent work as a General Manager. The Campbell’s, the Flores, Cecclini are all duds!
