As the FanSided offseason simulation continues, the Phillies continue to spend stupid money in free agency to make this team a World Series contender.
After adding three high-priced players, who we’ll disclose in a future piece outlining the entire offseason, the Phillies needed to dump some salary.
One of the biggest contracts Philadelphia could move is Jake Arrieta‘s, which has one guaranteed year remaining, plus two team option years, all three worth $20 million each.
We threw the idea out to the other general managers, and the San Diego Padres stepped up to help make a salary dump deal.
