ARB avoided with Hamels. Signs for $15 million this coming season. Guess they have given up hope of a long term deal prior to free agency. I now put the chances of Cole leaving next winter at 85%.

 

:(

Wilson Valdez traded to Cincinnati for Jeremy Horst.

 

Basically just a housekeeping move. Clears up a spot on the 40 man roster.

 

So long Willie V...

Hunter Pence and the team agreed to a $10.4 million salary for next season, per Jon Heyman. Seems fair. I would think the next step is a long-ish term extension. I am hoping that Amaro doesn't pull an Amaro and go overboard, since honestly I am not totally sold on Pence as a long term stud yet.

 

Also, Juan Pierre signs a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. I can get down with that.

 

And with that, I would imagine that the Phillies offseason is just about complete. All ARB players have now been taken care of (or traded away). Wouldn't shock me if they continue to go bargain hunting on relief pitching/utility infielding and bring a couple more vets into camp on minor league deals. Otherwise, I think the roster is basically set.

 

This will be my final post of the 2011 thread!
