3:52 No way Harper or Machado sign with Philadelphia… given any sort of alternative option, what “high profile” professional athlete in any sport has ever chosen to sign with a Philadelphia team ???
Jeffrey Todd
3:52 Cliff Lee, at least
Jim Thome (twice), Raul Ibanez, Papelbon and don’t forget that Halladay agreed to the trade to the Phillies and signed an extension as part of the agreement because he wanted to play there. Oh, I forgot Placido Polanco (twice)
What a stupid statement that dude made about no athlete signing with Philly teams! The Phillies alone: Pete Rose, Jim Thome, Cliff Lee, Jonathan Papelbon, Jake Arrieta…
At the end of the season, I prayed that the Mets trade no pitchers, and get themselves a real catcher and real First Baseman. But now that the Nats, Phillies and Braves are all improved, I still don’t see my Mets doing better than 4th in the division.

The Angels major move for the off-season is hiring Brad Ausmus. Sorry, Halo fans.
