It's probably more short term, since the Phillies might be thinking at this point about Bohm as a more viable first baseman of the future
My Name Is Judge

So you're saying the Guards are front runners for Ohtani?
Mark P

Cleveland trading for Ohtani at the deadline would be my favorite trade of all time, without even knowing what the Guardians would be giving up
No Trade Clause Klaus
9:41
Can a No trade clause be based on a teams record?  Like, I won’t go to a team that is under .500 or the avg win % for the last few seasons has to be over x?  Or is it only a list of teams?
Mark P
9:42
A lot of no-trade clauses are formulated based on more general reasons, like a player doesn't want to play too far away from home, or doesn't want to join a team that seemed to be deep at his particular position.
9:43
Having a rolling no-trade clause based on record is tricky, and probably nothing a team (or even a player) would be interested in
Tigerrrr
9:44
Would teams still balk at taking on the Baez contract ever if the tigers threw in jobe on a trade?
Mark P
9:45
Considering Jobe is on the IL for a big chunk of the season, it'd take a lot more than that to get a team to even consider taking Baez's contract

Is there a more bummer of a stadium giveaway than the magnet schedules so many teams give away on Opening Day?
Mark P

Bite your tongue, I love magnet schedules!  I have one on my fridge right now.
