The #Phillies, luxury tax be damned, are going all in, and plan to pursue free-agent 3B Anthony Rendon. https://t.co/aO2XMU0JPw

Ummmmmmmm….say what now? Looks like the Phillies are planning on saying fuck the luxury tax and ready to spend some big time money. They add Rendon and the NL East is a lock. Yes they’ll have to add more pitching but throwing the top third baseman in the sport to your roster would do numbers for this offense. This offseason is off to a hot start. Feel like anything could possibly happen at this point.
Now, there is also the real chance that this is nothing more that a Boras negotiation tactic. I’m not going to go full rage in the pants mode because of this fact but we are currently at have chub mode. Need catchers and pitchers to report already.
