They get Arraez, they’re going to move someone to first base, probably (Alec) Bohm and move (Bryce) Harper to the outfield. What are your thoughts on the Phillies’ outlook after the trade deadline, competing in a very competitive National League?Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Matt Vasgersian: “Yeah, well they had to do something. They didn’t get the right-handed outfielder that everybody thought they were going to get. This, by the way, is three straight years of the same straight discussion, ‘We need help.’ It was Austin Hays one year, I know they kicked the tires on some other players last year that they didn’t end up pulling the trigger on. Pretty smart baseball front office… They couldn’t get the right-handed fix so the next best play is to go get the best available bat and they got an elite bat into kind of a strikeouty lineup. Like the perfect fit. Bryce goes back to right, as you mentioned Bohm to first. It feels like a really abrupt change, but it isn’t. I think they had to do something to shock the system internally a little bit because their lineup just hadn’t executed the way we all thought it was going to all year long. We always think (Kyle) Schwarber is going to hit 60 homers, Bryce is going to hit 30 and hit .300… It’s too much to ask of those two guys. By the way, (Bryson) Stott at third base looks real nice. I just think everything about this is positive for the Phillies.”Matt Vasgersian shared his thoughts on the Phillies’ outlook after the trade deadline with me.“It feels like a really abrupt change, but it isn’t… They
