Wined and Dined Patrick Corbin who spurned them.
However the farm is abysmal. And I blame him, MacPhail and the scouts for that.
We don't have the young talent the Gnats and Bravos have.
And too much Phaith was put in old mainstays like Eflin, Eickhoff, Velasquez, Pivetta, Hernandez, Franco.
I think for the fans a change of culture (I think Kap was a scapegoat to an extent for the players under performing - i.e. see Franco, Hoskins and the pitching staff) is necessary from top to bottom.
Kap could never come back - fans wouldn't have it - but the stench of the old regime is still there with Klentak and Macphail - disappointed Montgomery just didn't turn it all over.
I can't comprehend it.
There's articles and blogs out there they may go after a trade for Mookie Betts.
I didn't think they had the talent in the farm for that kind of trade but who knows.
Gerrit Cole for #1 and have Nola at the #2. Hamels is a Free Agent again. Was screaming for him to come home at the trade deadline a couple of years back when he was had for nothing at the deadline by the Cubs and pitched lights out. Stick Hamels at #3.
Throw some coin at Rendon too. Couldn't hurt. But if the Gnats win the WS - I can't see how he turns around and spurns them. But who knows - look what Kawhi did to the Raptors and money talks. Maybe the Phils could outdo Washington's offer.
