Reports are the deal with Philly is done pending physicals Sanchez, Alfaro and a 3rd piece I'd say Miami did a good job waiting until they got the offer they wanted. Sanchez is not a top 10 guy like Whitley/Tucker, but he is generally a top 25-30 overall guy and Alfaro a really good second piece Wonder if this helps Philly get either Machado or Harper, if they have offered the best deal maybe adding a guy like Realmuto convinces them to go
If Philly doesn’t get Harper or Machado, they should certainly have enough money to extend Realmuto (probably will regardless). That’s a good return for Miami, although Sanchez and Alfaro carry significant risk, as will the 3rd piece.
Obviously would have liked him as a player, but I never expected we would meet their demands. Be it a long term contract, or significant trade pieces, I have never been a fan of investing significant resources in a player who's value is tied up in catching. Never have been, never will be.
Miami was reportedly offered better last season. That said, looking like a great deal for right now for Miami.
I would take the over on Miami winning 70 games. Decent team just lacks established stars: C Alfaro/Wallach 1B Walker/O’Brien 2B Castro SS Riddle/Rojas 3B Prado RF Anderson CF Brinson LF Granderson/Dean/Cooper/Sierra/Harrison SP Urena/Chen/Straily/Richards/Smith/Alcantara RP Steckenrider/Conley/Ferrell/Guerrero/Guzman/EHernandez/TBD
