    • The teams top prospects and emerging rookies (Quinn, Thompson, etc) all carry terrific value. From club control to real potential, these kids have legit value.

    We’ll get to the big leaguers, but there’s not many prospects in the farm system the Phillies would have a hard time dealing. Consider J,P Crawford, Mickey Moniak, Jorge Alfaro, Nick Williams, and Franklyn Kilome as the clubs core prospects. They’re likely off the table.

    However, any and every other prospect in the system does not have a future set in front of them. Making them all assets. Assets in which the club, could or could not, cash in on at any time in the future.

    These kids really make the future exciting on numerous levels, and it’s going to be something to watch develop.
