bearrock Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Not that high on the idea of committing 3-4 years on Donaldson.  Oh, Wheeler to Phillies. Interesting. Looks like the dominoes are starting to fall a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 The very definition of "stupid money" Apparently he got 5/$120m... Â Corbin got 6/$140m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Wheeler isn't bad and I bet on our team he'd do quite well. Just not sure about how he'll fare in Philly in that bandbox ball park on a franchise that doesn't do well with developing/managing Ps. Wasn't Arrieta a complete flop there too?

spjunkies Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'm not understanding why they keep trying to get black Friday sales, you are rich with no salary cap so stop being so damn cheap. These players just got you a bloody championship 😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
