Who in the Philly FO came from Boston? Holaday, Clay, and Hanigan? Gotta be someone, right?

Well the players are gone now so I’m guessing Boston made the right decision.
statmaster96
Daniel Nava and Dailer Hinojosa too

Forgot about them.

With so many players being released you have to wonder if this is a league wide conspiracy by the owners to not pay players. Thats collusion and is not allowed per the elective bargaining agreement. If the players association gets the right lawyer or lawyers they will clobber the owners on this issue.

There is a deadline for all Article Xx-B Free Agents who signed minor league deals this past offseason to be purchased by Tuesday noon or given a retention bonus of 100K$. Very few of these vets have been good enough to be purchased or be given a bonus to go to AAA. It’s no different than last year and written into the CBA, they have no basis for a lawsuit.

Dudes get cut all the time. It’s tough, every year there’s a new kid tryin to take your job, and ya he’s making league minimum. Pro sports is cutthroat. I remember when owners got in trouble for collusion, this sir is not collusion.

I doubt they could claim collusion when a team cuts a 36-year old catcher who can’t hit and led the league in passed balls while playing 1/5 of the season.

Agreed — all players listed are washed up… Philly has a strong scout presence in Boston . They didn’t show enough.

I’ll be interested to see how Knapp handles major league pitching. He had a difficult season in AAA last year defensively. There were games when he was removed late for defensive purposes. The Phillies obviously went with his offensive upside here.

More young guys Phillies put on MLB roster the better. Hanigans and holadays can be found anywhere if needed
