I agree. I just meant it would be weird to not do anything else. At this rate, they might as well grab Story, 2 of Greinke, Pineda, Cueto and hope for a lightning in a bottle season.
Phillies in talks with Brad Hand. If they sign him, this will be the third relieve they bring in with closing experience.

They have Voit there too. I just feel like they will add a left-handed bat to play 1B. Seems like a good opportunity for a team like Milwaukee to try to grab both? Lots of pitching but lots of uncertainty in the lineup.
As I said in my post, no. Just not sure where the confidence to sign any of them comes from as history dictates otherwise. Would love for them to prove me wrong and spend more than $73 million on a free agent for the first time.
The money will be spent!
Seriously, I get why people say certain guys (Conforto) are a no-brainer of a fit but that honestly doesn’t mean shit if they aren’t willing to sign him or have another plan of what to do with the position. Not that he has signed yet and there is still time but I just don’t know where the confidence comes from.
