Here's is the thing, hes a great hitter but hes very injury prone and hes slow as shit. He's also not a very good fielder and long term, he might just be a dh. His price tag is ridiculous. I wouldn't mind if he returned but Tucker is our #1 priority. To me, going to the Phillies doesn't make too much sense. He's 28 but his body like 34. Fantastic hitter though and moment isnt too big for him.
Offensively, he'd be a PERFECT fit for this Phillies lineup.
Defensively, they'd probably just put him at third, and trade Bohm. He'd be alright there. Leave Turner at short and Stott at 2nd, both of whom were great defensively last season.
A top 4 in the lineup consisting of Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Bo Bichette, and Kyle Schwarber (in any order) would be nastyyyyy. That's two of the highest average hitters in baseball (Turner and Bo both top 5 in avg) and two big time power hitters. Plz sum
I'm hearing he wants a massive contract though.
