Now that it appears that the lockout (call it what you want) is over, I'm switching from the "2021-22 Phillies Offseason Thread" to this thread. You can find the aforementioned thread at:

2021-22 Phillies offseason thread - Forums

here's hoping the Phightins make some good moves in the offseason. We'll discuss their moves in this thread
www.on3.com www.on3.com

The offseason was pretty quiet for most teams, as they waited to see what type of agreement would be signed. There is likely to be a lot of activity in the coming days/weeks.

Let's Get Phillies

They are hot after Odubel, so it seems they are going with a platoon with Vierling somewhere. I wasn’t super impressed with Odubel in CF any longer, but I guess the trade options are just too expensive. Hopefully they will get Bryant for LF primarily, but he can spell Harper in RF and be a back up plan for 3B if Bohm doesn't turn it around.

Given the current state of the farm system, can't give away top end prospects for Chapman. Elite defensive player, but offensively major concerns. Some power, but low avg and OBP. Strikeouts major issue.

Yeah, I would love Chapman, but that farm system needs to be built up.

I've been trying to not get my hopes up on Bryant. Jon Heyman's tweet the other day got me excited though. Wouldn't mind Castellanos either.

Really... there's not another outfielder we can get?

I mean, they really only have Harper and Vierling right now. They still need at least two more, maybe three more OF. To me, they're signing him to be a bench guy, I hope.

That is my hope, too. But understand the FA market is limited. Have to believe someone like Pillar would be a better option, at least defensively. I don't Herrera adding much. They just don't have the trade chips. Somehow need someone else to take Seguera and Didi to get that money off the books. Dombrowski's history tells us he will trade prospects and quite frankly you don't sign Harper and then accept .500 seasons. I could see them moving Abel or Painter, but I am just not sold on Chapman.

Yeah, Chapman's average has really dropped off in recent years. If they were definitely getting 2018/2019 Chapman, I'd take it. But man, he hit .210 last year.

Yeah neither really move the needle and we’re just hoping for a good year from them.

What do you do here? They’re due for some good bullpen luck for a year or five. Every pen move they’ve made recently has been historically bad. Much of that is bad luck.

Familia and Hand are basically replacing Archie and Hector and I don’t think either are an upgrade….. Overpay galore….

Hector Nerris got 8.5 million. They're saving money on Hand. I don't understand what the issue is? Three guys with closing experience seems like a positive move to me.

Yeah, I'm with ya. What are we expecting here? They need to fill a ton of positions and have $40 million left after these moves. I think considering the market, and considering what they want to do in left field, those are both good moves.

Also, Pete Alonso getting into a car accident. Back to the Phillies. Wasn't sure where to post these, seemed like notable news to me though.
