Phillies did this deal to get a little cheaper for the future. Oswalt was tough to give up because of the potential for a big year with the Phils and Chris Johnson was tough to give up because of potential but I had to give up something to get something. I get out from under Rios's contract as well. Sanchez is a serviceable pitcher and Phillips is a solid MI. Francisco will hopefully more than platoon this year and I'm hoping Bailey bounces back again from being hurt. Overall I feel it gives me a more solid lineup and the Marlins get a lot of depth for their team.
Thanks for the negotiations Samuel! It took a little while but we where finally able to agree on a deal.
Marlins to confirm.
