Painter is only 23 years old. Why are you in such a hurry to trade him? He's getting his feet wet this year. Next year would be his "watch" year. Nola is the one the Phillies need to think about trading or making him a reliever.

Absolutely. LA has accelerated the inevitable. The Skubal trade was the worst thing for the CBA right now.
IMHO, trade for Arraez, move Stott to 3rd, and use Bohm for trade bait. My eyes are on a healthy Aiden Miller to break in next year at SS. Time to get YOUNGER!
Hope so--I'm still convinced the owners fold
The fact MLB is the only major American sport without a cap is absurd

They should have moved Bohm last year when there seemed to be some interest before the trade deadline. I'd think if the Phils do make a deal for Arraez, Bohm would be part of the return (among others of course). Hopefully the Giants would see some value in his third base/first base/DH flexibility.
Nobody is taking Nola with that contract and inconsistent pitching.
Perhaps. Move Turner to OF and it gives them the power hitting right handed OFer they have been missing.
This is exactly why I do not care if they lockout next year. The system is FUBAR. They are the only major professional sport without a salary cap. It HAS to change. The teams on that list don’t stand a chance. The problem is that the MLB caters to the big market teams and their owners hold all the cards in this negotiation. I don’t expect much to change even with a lockout. If they don’t change something though, many of the teams on that list may not survive a few more seasons under the current environment.
Well, how would SP Dustin May and OF Lars Nootbaar sound coming to the Phils? Shouldn't take much to give away for both. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/08/cardinals-rumors-may-nootbaar-phillies-rays-yanks.html
This is gonna be so interesting. Arraez wants to stay at 2B and not go to 3B. Trea to CF???
So intriguing. Was hoping for IF changes. They have no choice but to shake it up

Yeah, aside from Gage Wood, he’s the only pitcher who looks like the real deal at the moment, not including Painter, of course.
