The trade rumors started swirling almost immediately after the MLB offseason began. Bob Nightengale of USA Today listed Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, and Brandon Marsh as potential candidates from the Philadelphia Phillies who could be on the move this winter.
“Simply, scouts say, they’re (the Phillies are) just too easy to pitch to come crunchtime with their big swingers and contact-challenged hitters. If someone needs a slugger like Nick Castellanos, or outfield help in Brandon Marsh, or third baseman Alec Bohm, the Phillies are listening.” -Bob Nightengale
What kind of trade value do the three players have? How should other MLB teams view them? How do Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies evaluate them internally?
“Maybe you take one of your cheaper regulars – the Bohm, Marsh, (Bryson) Stott bucket I guess you could say– and pair them with one of your better prospects and try to go get a better young kind of talent that’s been in the big leagues already that has proven to be a big league contributor for another team that fits in your lineup better.” -Matt Gelb on 97.5 The Fanatic
