Amidst all the trade rumors, Cesar Hernandez will be in line for a pay raise regardless.

I got Cesar Hernandez down as the team’s top trade candidate this offseason, therefore he is worthy of his tender.

Making under $600K in 2016, Hernandez could be in line for nice pay increase, but nothing to take away from his trade value. Even if his salary triples in size (or goes higher), Hernandez will still be making peanuts compared to his production in 2016.

All three that received tenders are also all trade candidates in my eyes. Gomez and Hernandez more than Galvis. But none have a future set in stone in Philadelphia, yet. However, just as much as they could be traded, they could be extended as well to avoid arbitration.

Situations are typically fluid, so stay tuned to TBOH for all further updates.
