Such a mess. There are going to look awfully stupid on the Myles Straw trade if there wasn't Plan B considering the Dodgers waited until they actually signed him before they made a deal for bonus pool money.

I've seen people giving them crap for that online and i don't agree with that.
They tried to make a move they were comfortable with to put more pressure on Sasaki to take their offer. I like that they were aggressive with that.
They were always the underdog position to try to get this done and tried to do something to put some pressure on the whole thing by being able to up their deal.
They get in crap for being passive and not trying to close deals, and then when they tried to be aggressive they get crapped on for that too.
Ill repeat the problem isn't them being involved in these things (Soto, Ohtani, Sasaki), getting close, and then failing. I'd rather they take those big swings. The problem is they don't have a plan B when it hasn't worked.
I blame the Phillies for doing anything to help an NL rival add Sasaki.
