The Phillies have more than enough to accomplish next year and beyond. This is what I want from them for Christmas this year.

Every year all throughout the world kids are writing lists telling jolly old saint Nick what they want for Christmas. So why can’t a baseball team? Santa, I will not waste your time. On behalf of all Phillies fans, we want Manny Machado and Jake Arrieta. That’s it.

Sadly however, getting those two are about as likely as the Phanatic getting coal. You never know though, he gets pretty wild on that RV, injuring people could land him on the naughty list. So instead we will look at eight maids a milking, or in non christmas terms, eight realistics wants for the 2018 season.
