… and there goes that “Shake ‘n Bake” marketing campaign for 2014. “Shake ‘n Escalona” just doesn’t have that same ring.
$1529282
Update: Wade has signed Escalona to a four-year, $24MM extension.

Cartwright? He seemed promising. Not quite big league ready but still I would hope with another year like last year could he could’ve fetched more than an AAAA reliever.

Thanks Ed Wade. Signed, Phillies fan.

If he does need more grooming, whatever, Chase Utley isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Good luck Escalona!

Well it makes sense for the Phillies since they have a ton of pitching depth in their minors and very little IF depth. I guess they keep getting these guys like Cartwright and Martinez (Rule 5 draft) and hoping one of them pans out as a decent replacement to Rollins and Utley.

You’ll know something is wrong with the world if the Astros trade with any team besides the Phillies.

They’ve made two trades with the Rockies this offseason. Does that mean the end of the world is nigh?
Although Rocky was from Philadelphia so maybe the Rockies are an exception.

Good depth move. Phillies’ middle infield depth in the minors was nearly barren outside of Martinez, Hernandez, and Garcia.

good luck, sergio!

Houston, YOU have a problem

The only thing that keeps me from blasting this move is the fact that Wade has been pretty good with picking up pitchers off waivers or making small trades giving up low upside players. Latroy Hawkins, Randy Wolf, Jeff Fulchino, and Alberto Arias come immediately to mind, but there are others too. I hope this is another Fulchino or Arias case. I guess we’ll see.

Utley’s have big problems with tendinitis, so this looks like a pretty good move for the Phils.
