Rhys Hoskins, Spencer Howard & Adam Haisley... What do you think? do both teams do it the rays have said he is available & a team friendly contract
i dont think tampa does this and dont think at the moment, it would be close. Howard's shoulder issues would stop this from happening i think. Haisley looks to be a 4th outfielder. Howard needs to prove he is healthy and then he would have some value.
with that said, the phillies desperately need cost effective players and trading someone like howard, goes against that. were in all likelihood looking at a cut in payroll, possibly a drastic one. adding another starter, while extremely fair contract, ties their hands even further on adding anyone to this team of real value. howard, hoskins, bohm, kingery are the keys to any success this team had given what it seems they will be doing with payroll.
