Phillies make a Smooth deal

[UMFan83]

That's a lot of money for Carlos Santana. They aren't messing around...now spend a bunch more so you aren't as threatening for Bryce.

done. I have not yet jumped on the clever post title trend

Seems like a weird signing for an NL team that already has Rhys Hoskins.

I wonder if he'd be in a Machado trade?

I dunno how smooth it is, but it's a hot one.

He'll see a lot of cool Philly dudes still wearing that Rob Thomas dragon shirt in public in 2018.

hey now all you sinners put your lights on because carlos santana is going to the phillies

 

nailed it.

Phillies could be an interesting team this year if their pitching comes along. No threat to win the divisions unless the Nats have crazy injuries but with the Braves, Marlins and Mets all sucking and getting ~50 games against those 3 I could see them in contention for a WC spot.

A bit unlikely unless the Orioles can clear out Davis/Trumbo/Mancini from their 1st/LF/DH logjam.

I find this signing a bit odd. Hoskins can be decent in LF, but Santana at 3 years, at that cost? I get that up and coming teams sometimes have to over-pay to get that first guy in ... but Santana? I mean, it fits a need for a power bat. Doesn't mean it can't work just fine, and it actually gives them some more assets they can deal, with Hoskins going to LF.

Phillies fans LOVE Hoskins. I think they'd riot if he were traded. Plus the Orioles have a ton of 1B/OF/DH types already.
