When trying to describe the Phillies offseason thus far, uneventful, lackluster, and fruitless are words that come to mind. Day after day the stench of complacency grows around the franchise as the front office refuses to spend money and make moves. Already on the verge of losing star catcher J.T Realmuto to the highest-bidder and failing to climb up the divisional power ranking this winter, the Phillies took another kick to the crotch Thursday evening.
It was then that the Mets pulled off a blockbuster trade for superstar infielder Francisco Lindor. Rumored to have been on the trading block for the past year or so, the 4x all-star is now headed to the Big Apple.
