I’m sure the Phils try for Morejon but I suspect Abreu may be a more realistic target. Iglesias and Vesia probably re-sign with their current teams, I would think.
The top free agent relievers this offseason:
David Bednar
Adrian Morejon
Raisel Iglesias
Jonathan Loaisiga
Emilio Pagan (Club Option)
A.J. Minter
Bryan Abreu
Jason Adam
Wandy Peralta (Player Option)
Kenley Jansen (Club Option)
Ryan Helsley (Opt-Out)
Evan Phillips
John Schreiber
Alex Vesia
Jacob Webb (Club Option)
Could you imagine how much Phillies fans would despise Acuna if he was on the Phillies and his last 3 years in the playoffs were .200 with 0 home runs and 0 RBIs? Yet they act like Harper is a choker when he’s top 5 all time in OPS.
People are saying @LaneJohnson65 quit. I played his position. That's not what happened.
Late in your career the standard doesn't move. Your body does. Then life hands you stuff you can't block.
Being honest with yourself is oftentimes the hardest thing to do when you realize you can't be that rock for your teammates anymore.
Lane, proud of you brother!

Been in The league 14 yrs. Had a 13 yr old he feels he doesn’t see enough along with 2 others. All with his ex wife
He’s been vocal about his mental health for years
On top of that both of his parents are sick and he’s their caretaker. Literally missed training camp and days because of this.
And Stephen A Smith is on national tv making fun of him. This is pathetic work even for him.
It’s also the fact that no one intervened. No one stepped in to correct him. This is actually really, really shitty. It’s Wednesday. He’s had a whole day to come up with a take that wasn’t whatever this shit is.
@Haleytsimon@jonjohnsonwip Well said, Haley. Maybe all of this can start a real conversation about mental health and how important it is for people to prioritize it. People need to know, it is okay to not be okay. No one should be ridiculed for it.
After playing 14 seasons, gutting through serious injuries and being open about mental health challenges, Lane Johnson deserves your grace - whatever and whenever he has decided.
@awfulannouncing Despicable stuff from Stephen A right here. The hell he isn’t “making light” of a situation he seems to know little to nothing about. And the host tiptoeing around it all isn’t a lot better.
@Travis1 The Phillies 2011 NLDS loss vs Cardinals. Winningest team in club history, lost deciding game 5 at home, 1-0. Ryan Howard tore his Achilles making the final out. Neither he nor Roy Halladay were the same after that night. Absolutely heartbreaking.
