Sorry, thought it would translate... but considering the circumstance of the Phillies a year ago today. First it was rumored he was on the trading block and now they have all but given up on him. He was unhittable at times last year.

Putting him on waivers is not a result of performance, it's a process that almost all players go through. Trading him was about freeing up money, not because of his performance.

If the Phils were 15 games up, we would not be having this discussion. Which is exactly where everyone projected them on the low-end. No one expected this total collapse. That being the point.

Exactly. If they were up, they wouldn't be "clearing money"
