How can you seriously be surprised?
And how far away do you think they are?
Surprised by the years, 13 yrs with no opt out and no trade..
He basically stuck in Philadelphia and If he starts his decline after age 33, the Phillies will be stuck paying him mega bucks for another 5- 6 yrs..lol
Also thought for sure he'd want to go West
How far to winning or competing for a WS..
As far as their roster goes now, I still think there 4 or 5 better teams then them in NL..
Outside of Nola, unless I missed an addition to rotation, it not that great
So, right now as is, their at least a couple years away just based on better talent on other teams
