Not quite Hallady but we didn't have to give up nearly as much either....initial thought is that I really love this deal. That is alot of left handed pitching in this rotation now. I don't know why but I like Francisco and have been waiting for him to break out. Hopefully he does just that with the Phils.

Sources told MLB.com the Phillies and Indians have reached an agreement that would send Lee and outfielder Ben Francisco to the Phillies for right-handers Jason Knapp and Carlos Carrasco, shortstop Jason Donald and catcher Lou Marson.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Hammels is struggling mightly, as a lifelong Braves fan it pains me but the NL will be won by LA or STL noone else will be able to hang with them.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Hamels is not struggling as bad as you might suggest. He started off the year horribly by getting injured twice I believe in freak accidents. I think his ERA in April was in the mid teens. Since then he has been very solid and I think he will really begin to get into form now that he doesn't have the pressure of being the only ace. I'll take Lee and Hamels as a 1-2 in the playoffs all day long especially with that offense to support them. As far as LA and STL, they are good (especially STL) but I don't see why you think they are so elite. I guess we will see when the dust settles.

So does this mean Halladay stays put?

I thought Philly was the only logical place?

Somewhere out west now?

Saint Lou? Christ, please not Saint Lou.

If they trade him to a division rival like ESPN is suggesting may happen (Red Sox or maybe Yanks), they should pull baseball out of Canada. I hate that so many small market teams are even allowed to throw in the towel like this each year. The Pirates especially are a disgrace to baseball. (sorry Bubbadawg)

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
