Phillies Off-Season 2024-2025 (Hot Stove)

Nope. Painter and Miller are off limits. Crawford could be moved in the right deal. I wouldn't move Tait either. Abel could be moved too. Maybe another organization thinks they can turn him around, he still has great raw stuff, just can't locate.

Well okay then. On to the next rumor! (Actually that wasn't even a rumor, just Murphy saying the Phils should try to get into what was already obviously pretty advanced talks.)

The idea of trading Bohm isn't addition by subtraction. It's that he has trade value and the Phils have needs. He's coming off a career year, and it isn't a given that he's overcome his defensive problems. I suspect he won't be a 3 WAR player next year.

That said, I wouldn't trade him unless we get better value at a position of need. I wouldn't object to Jonathan India being on the Phillies, but he is not really better than Bohm. Just a different skill set. If they trade Bohm, it should be to improve the team.

Just to tie the bow on it (even if it would otherwise go in the non-Phillies thread)

Reds, Royals Agree To Trade Involving Brady Singer, Jonathan India

The other piece is probably not even as good as Cristian Pache

Another strike against India is that the Phillies haven't done that well with people with names of countries. Mark Portugal was probably the best, and that ain't saying much. Kevin Jordan? They had a guy named Hugh Poland in 1947 who went 0 for 8. Then there are all those Chads (Billingsley, Durbin, Ogea, Qualls,...).

Phillies agreed to a one-year deal with Garrett Stubbs to avoid arbitration. They tendered contracts to everyone but Austin Hays.

Brandon Rodgers was released by the Rox- injury problems keep him off the field. He won a GG at second a few years ago and hits lefties really well- convince him to platoon in left and at second and he could be a pretty productive guy…if he stays on the field.

I was intrigued until I looked at his home/away splits. He can't hit outside Coors Field. BR -
