GOOD GRAVY NOT JIMMERS!
In all honesty, this is what we wanted, right? A trade of the old core so that the youth could get it going? Frankly, it's a bit jarring to see the most elder statesman be the first on the chopping block, but so goes revolution I suppose. My shirsey is now woefully out of date, and I had hoped that Phillies red would be evergreen with J. Roll.
Still, however long you're in Dodger Blue my dude, you're a Phillie to me. May you provide Kershaw with many a no hitter saving dives, and may you be a good double agent for the Phillies when they need to play spoiler. Godspeed Young James!
