Get ahead, stay ahead: Phillies 11, Nationals 5

Patrick Corbin was such a hot commodity the offseason before 2019. Several teams were after him, which included the Nationals, Yankees and Phillies. As we all know now, the Nationals would end up with him, offering him that sixth year that he craved, but one has to think that the Phillies put forth a very solid effort to try and make him a part of what they were trying to do. Had they succeeded in signing Corbin, they likely would have been out on Zack Wheeler the following offseason and who know where we’d be now.
