There's a good amount of options for the Phillies here.

Would love Bubic if he'd be interested in a swing man role.

Other names:
- Puk as a bounce-back guy
- Alex Vesia
- A Jojo reunion would be fun
- Think Sean Newcomb finally found himself last year with the White Sox

Really liked this answer from Pete Fatse on what enticed him about the Phillies job yesterday with @bradfo on @BBisntBoring.

They’re attacking their hitting development head on and I like how convicted they are in their belief Fatse is their guy.

This has Seiya at 5/$105 and Randy at 4/$100 and Sato at 5/$80.

Given the age, qualifying offer ramifications and what should be similar production… I’d much prefer they sign Sato over those guys.
Qualifying offer and option decisions are in, free agency is open, and the MLBTR Top 50 is here!

Gunnar, come on home.

(Also, I can't quit Jordan Westburg regardless of the injuries)
The Orioles are open to discussing trades for ANYONE besides Pete Alonso, per @afkostka

Baltimore is looking to improve its outfield and starting pitching

Good sign here.
Great hire. Also of note: Pete had his choice between the Phillies and Cardinals.

A good reminder for the Sato projections today from Bowden.
Jim Bowden is projecting Teruaki Sato to receive a 5 year, $180m ($36M AAV) contract in free agency this off-season.

Very much related, here was what Bowden projected for the incoming Japanese free agents last season, compared to what they got.

This Eagles defense is one of the most disappointing units I’ve witnessed in my life as a Philly sports fan.

The offense you can excuse away due to injuries and what not, you can’t with this defense.

They were supposed to be a top 5 unit that is just absolutely charmin soft.

Couple thoughts on Fatse.

1. Little surprising they went with a guy that was just fired, but at least he has experience in the role.

2. I like that the Rays immediately hired him to be a hitting consultant for them - shows smart teams like him

3. I hope he's truly the best guy for the job and not someone that Cora will be comfortable with a year from now.

"That's the goal as hitting coaches, to get guys to believe in themselves because you're not always going to feel great."
