Phillies TRADE For Jesus Luzardo While Mets, Orioles, Red Sox & Giants MISS OUT!

[@gregthegroove]

When Luzardo is good he’s literally a game changing type pitcher. This is good IMO. Why? All he needs his to be healthy come post season time and be good game by game. And that’s VERY doable.

[@Mr1stcat]

Thanks for the hard work and awesome content Jim 👍

[@brentbell7235]

I think a lot of teams are concerned about Luzardo’s injury history.

[@jayfelsberg1931]

You would think that Miami would learn not to trade with the Phils after JTR.

[@DonLewis9274]

BIG MOVE!! Let's go PHILLIES!!

[@michaelcournoyer4803]

Cubs passed on Luzardo reportedly because of his medical.

[@jaystjohn284]

Other than 2023 this Guy never had more than 18 starts . Going on his 8th season . I dunno if iam sold on him

[@greg5775]

I agree, a gamble, but a low risk, high reward gamble.

[@jacobcharsky4050]

Also have to understand that Caba would never play for the Phillies. He was always gonna get traded due to Turner and Stott being here for the future

[@Methoes123]

Luzardo has injury issues! Glad the O's passed on him. They should pass on Flaherty!

[@carlosalbertogonzalezgayta6510]

Man Philly is scary

[@virgilgreen3108]

Thank you JESUS! 😁🎄

[@TheMacdod]

Good move for the Phillies

[@scottwilson2858]

Jim, Mets fan here. I just don’t see the big deal for him. Maybe I’m missing something, but not giving up top 10 prospect for career 4.29 pitcher. Injury concerns to boot

[@tetuone11]

Apparently, he is the Biggest steal of the off season. Who knew? Happy Holidays everyone!

[@rupertpupkin2660]

Last time Marlins and Phillies striked a deal it was Sixto Sanchez for JT Realmuto. Sixto Sanchez was a top 3 prospect at the time for The Phillies. Look how that turned out. Caba won't be ready for 2+ years. Luzardo will be under control for the next two years at dirt cheap and he will be the 4th or 5th starter in the rotation. Considering what quality starting pitching is going for on the open market right now this was a good deal. Phillies also landed a catching propsect in Macintosh that could come up this year also if necessary. This also means they may be able to upgrade there offense by trading Ranger Suarez(who is managed by Scott Boras) whos going to be a top FA in next years FA class. Acquiring Luzardo gives the Phillies options to make other moves down the road if need be.

[@mikelanzalotti7120]

As a Phillies fan, I’m very pleased with this move

[@havokan45]

as a Phillies fan i wonder if Luzardo back injury chased the other teams away have to see .

[@jayfelsberg1931]

[@jakeboss1915]

Philly a tough team in the NL for sure

[@cryptobill6188]

Phillies getting Luzardo meant Phillies knew they weren't even in the discussion for Sasaki

[@anthonypanepinto9685]

Just a note, Ranger Sureze is on his last year. He might be traded.

[@blackonyx3007]

How do you slot a pitcher at 1 or 2 when you have not seen him pitch in a major league game after his injury that kept him out of most of the season. Phills were willing to take the risk. I don’t thank other teams did a “bad job” because they factored in the risk of Luzardo not returning to form when they structure their trade offers. You are overstating.

[@greg5775]

Exactly, he is not a proven commodity.

[@Dispatcher-j7t]

i said at start of offseason philly was being sneaky quiet and bam here they go

[@carlosalbertogonzalezgayta6510]

Luzardo just became a CY young award winner candidate 👏

[@DonLewis9274]

I hope but relax, he's a 4 or 5 bub

[@carlosalbertogonzalezgayta6510]

Can’t wait to see Jesus in a big team like Philly

[@rodneysamradli5287]

I think the Phillies did a great job getting him. LGM!

[@TheMacdod]

Is he not a bit of a question mark, back of the rotation? Mets already have that

[@brandondillman5841]

The O's looked into Luzardo last offseason, but were scared off by his medicals.

[@Dwayne4007]

Cubs too

[@travisgraves730]

The Phillies didn't need SP.! What kills them in the playoffs is the bullpen. SMH!

[@DiabolicHipHop]

Luzardo had one decent year and has been terrible otherwise

[@edomarpez1840]

2019, 2022, 2023

[@RyanHaase-n5j]

12:16 In what world is Luzardo a one or a two for a playoff team?

[@blachloch1]

Wasn't Luzardo having health issues?

[@PullinMyOwn]

5:00 SF didn’t because we don’t want him. Burnes & Sasaki way before we go after this guy.

[@brandenp1187]

Great now trade Ranger. Ranger, Bohm, and a prospect for Correa and Durán? Bring in a swingman until Painter is ready

[@WeBeatMedicare6969]

2 years control is about 12 IL stints for Luzardo

[@brandondillman5841]

I'd be shocked if he doesn't need TJ in the next 2 years. The history of sever forearm strains is concerning. Those often lead to TJ.

[@jayfelsberg1931]

Ranger is in his walk year. If he has a Real Ranger Season teams will be backing up the Brinks truck next winter. I wonder if Ranger told the Phils he will try FA. JL is insurance if he walks. And Painter may be ready. Now how do we dump Walker?

[@mikelopez4154]

Ok let me understand this how is the top 4 prospect in the Phillies organization rank #55 in all baseball when the Phillies farm systemis ranked 17th behind the marlins. As a dodger fan I'm not upset but I'm more dissapointed in our front office for not getting this deal done. We are falling 😴 💤 sleep

[@papijoel72]

We just need a good contact hitter now!!

[@jorgesilva294]

Let’s try it again shall we

[@carlosalbertogonzalezgayta6510]

Tomorrow Foul Territory is gonna be lit 🔥

[@jennifertimlin1371]

Broken Pitcher. Good luck, Philly! The guy has back issues. Teams were scared off.

[@hooptie6312]

Luzardo is extremely overrated. Ever year is a “what if.” The reality is that the dude is average and always hurt.

[@julianc6863]

He played for the fuckin Marlins dude.

[@hooptie6312]

@ what does that have to do with him being average and always being hurt? Lmao.

[@stevie2times256]

Luzardo going to Cubs fell through for some reason 🤷‍♂️

[@brandondillman5841]

medicals. He has a few big red flags with his health. He's been put on the IL several times with forearm strains and back issues. Forearm strains often lead to TJ.

[@carlosalbertogonzalezgayta6510]

Luzardo value gonna raise to 42.0

[@isaiah8998]

Ngl I could careless about caba he had no pathway and we still have painter miller marchan Crawford Abel

[@carlosalbertogonzalezgayta6510]

Rangers were also on Jesus that’s why

[@wojownikzczarnabandana298]

Rangers 😂

[@WeBeatMedicare6969]

Where’s the chat?

[@jorgesilva294]

What’s up with this long ass intro bro

[@stevemammen5595]

Space is cool...

[@ldo1308]

Giants don't need him

[@josephbaffi639]

why is every making every pitcher traded good this guy been around for 6 yrs never did anything special

[@LSharp609]

Jim relax on Luzardo he not even all that good.

[@Zachariah15]

As a red sox fan I hope this doesn't come across as cope but. I am worried about his back. I know that back injuries aren't something to laugh at. Once you hurt your back once it gets easier and easier to re-injury your back.

[@drewphillips2907]

Luzardo is overrated.

[@LSharp609]

RIGHT

[@richardstewart85]

He’s not overrated for a 3rd stater in a rotation and he’s definitely better than Taijuan Walker he’s been a disaster for the Phillies I say excellent move.

[@ericdollars5040]

People said the same thing about wheeler when we sighned him from the mets!!!!!we'll see!!!!

[@brandondillman5841]

I don't think he's overrated, but he is incredibly injury prone. Dude lives on the IL.

[@carlosalbertogonzalezgayta6510]

Gonna screenshot this and comeback 162 games later

[@bxnym]

He sucks lol

[@patskers1]

Missing out? The guy has been mid his entire career.

[@brandondillman5841]

He had 1 really good season, but the injury concerns are very real. Scared a ton of teams off.

[@julianc6863]

Dude as a Phillies fan this does nothing to me. There offense has is why they keep losing in playoffs. Since 22 it's the same 9 basically except swapped Hoskins for TT and I'd rather have Hoskins. TT is so over rated. Remember 2010 with that staff and what happened lost again in playoffs 1-0 game 5. They need a serious upgrade in CF. Don't want to see Rojas anymore

[@Payythakidd]

Who cares none of these teams really missed out dudes a 5 era pitcher who cares what he did 2-3 years ago he did nothing last year

[@Payythakidd]

Jesus Lazaro is not better than Grayson Rodriguez or Zach eflin not even kremer he can replace Trevor rogers but who honestly gives a fuck
