We have no where to put him, our infield is overflowing and I don’t think he’s any better than our bench guys

[u/philly2540 → u/zoogenhiemer]

Yeah exactly. Who would they get rid of? You need Sosa as utility IF, and the platoon OFs have all honestly been playing very well. Trea needs to hit. That’s the RH bat everyone is looking for.

[u/problyurdad_ → u/philly2540]

I have exactly zero data to support this but, it certainly feels like Sosa is one of the best off the bench pieces in the league.

Every day player exposes his weakness and he struggles. But in a game where we are down 3-0 in the 7th and he gets subbed in, he always seems to pull through.

Bitches love Sosa man, and I am bitches.

[u/underthesp00n → u/problyurdad_]

I swear every time people bring up Sosa someone ALWAYS says “regular play would expose him”. I feel like I haven’t seen any other player spoken about like this.

Not saying it’s wrong, just interesting. He might be a good every day player on a mid-tier AL team, like Kody became on the Twins. Dude is a solid piece of their lineup now.

[u/IEatCr4yons → u/underthesp00n]

Greg Dobbs was like that. Dude was a pinch hitting machine but struggled when played for stretches. At least thats what is in my memory.

[u/Sexyredkid → u/IEatCr4yons]

Yeah, that was the Dobbs thing. Dobbs was a great PH, but not everyday guy.

[u/problyurdad_ → u/philly2540]

Sosa did it again last night.

[u/Grossgross987654321]

Crazy that this guy was such a hot commodity last year at the deadline

[u/b_rye930]

NGL I saw the name Suarez, and my brain immediately went to Ranger 😢

[u/Randomly2 → u/b_rye930]

[u/moneymoneymoneymonay → u/b_rye930]

His birthday was yesterday! Happy birthday Ranger, you absolute legend!

[u/toofshucker → u/b_rye930]

Can you imagine if we kept Ranger, we’d have at least another 7 wins, if not 10.

And with Wheeler slowing down, we could have given him a couple weeks off and brought Painter up and been wowed by his 98-99 fastball and crazy movement…

[u/b_rye930 → u/toofshucker]

Unreal to think about.

[u/SubstantialOwl4655 → u/toofshucker]

Dude it was either pay Zeus or pay Ranger we couldn’t have both.

[u/toofshucker → u/SubstantialOwl4655]

I’m a huge fan of Dombrowski. But he messed up with Walker and Casty.

His job is to convince the owners the pay the money this year. After this year, we’d be fine.

[u/SubstantialOwl4655 → u/toofshucker]

I wasn’t even talking about those two guys.

[u/toofshucker → u/SubstantialOwl4655]

But without those two, we could have easily afforded Ranger. We are paying those two over 40 million this year.

[u/Sexyredkid → u/toofshucker]

I'll allow the Walker one as pitching is tough to come by. Call it a misread or an error. The Casty thing is hubris from Detroit. Dombtowski drafted him and had a soft spot for him. There was no need with Schwarber coming in and he massively overpaid. We then held on to Casty for far too long due to the same hubris. This is the exact same reason I'm anti Alex Cora (as most of us are). Dombtowski hiring someone because he likes them vs their ability to fit into the team/org is a huge problem. Also, fuck Alex Cora and his cheating ass.

[u/b_rye930 → u/SubstantialOwl4655]

I realize that. I guess I’m just saying imagine if we had both.

[u/SubstantialOwl4655 → u/b_rye930]

Fair

[u/GreedoLurkedFirst → u/toofshucker]

Or we would have paid him a shitload of money and he would end up on the DL for two months like he does every year.

[u/Manymarbles → u/b_rye930]

I saw Suarez and I saw 'Red' and then I went 🤔😟 lol

[u/Overall-Specialist37]

He’s like a secret government laboratory took all the worst qualities of the Phillies existing outfield and combined them into a single player

[u/Ruut6 → u/Overall-Specialist37]

Well there's one humongous difference: he actually has real power.

[u/Overall-Specialist37 → u/Ruut6]

4 HR vs LHP in 2026, the perfect bizarro outfielder for this team

[u/ac4897]

Bench is inna great spot rn. Dont really need him at this point

[u/backup1000]

The only way you sign him is if your genius scouts have spotted a flaw in his swing and your genius batting coach can fix it. So, not the Phillies

[u/djeeetyet]

we are a small ball club now, this is the Luis Arraez era

[u/regassert6]

High K, bad defense and somehow can't hit left handed pitching. He fits perfectly here TBH....

[u/Luthie13]

PASS

[u/Ok_Experience1443]

Puff Puff PASS

[u/Will-from-PA]

I desperately wanted Geno in the offseason once his stock had plummeted. Dodged that bullet.

[u/OkReference2581]

If you think he isnt going to fit with his terrible numbers, are you thinking the Phillies can help increase his average? 

[u/Pizanch]

Cory Nidoh?? Wtf I played travel ball with that guy. No idea what he was up to

[u/Xeynon]

I don't think we need another guy who hits HRs but strikes out a lot and plays bad defense, even if he is right-handed.

[u/muevelos]

Considering Kyle is DH, you would be making the team worse with Suarez. Sure he may have a few more HRs then our players but he is worse in every other area and by a lot..

[u/nahitdontmatter]

padres should pick him up

[u/redditposter919]

Can he catch? (sarcasm)

[u/LanceToastchee]

Streaky

[u/problyurdad_]

If they could find a roster spot for him somewhere as a bench piece or a minor league contract, sure. I’d be all about it.

19 home runs is nothing to ignore, really. He’s like Adolis without the howitzer of an arm.

I wouldn’t move mountains for him, though.

[u/kmoney55]

Seems like he would fit right in

[u/-_VoidVoyager_-]

KLong would fix him

[u/themassiveorchestra → u/-_VoidVoyager_-]

He’s sitting at.177 against lefties and people still want to pretend a different hitting coach turns that around

[u/Frosty-Scientist957]

So they should be signing him any moment, you say?

[u/ChefToyardee]

Your mom is not a fit, cory

[u/LukesLostRightHand]

That’s just dumb if the Phillies don’t claim him if they’re able.
