Phillies news:

• Is this it? Is this finally - FINALLY - the offseason where the Phillies and Vince Velasquez part ways?
• Alec Bohm! He’s a finalist for the Rookie of the Year! Yay!

MLB news:

• Here are all the the finalists for the all the awards. Poor Rick Renteria...
• That SBN Offseason Simulation that is done every year? It’s going on every year and I (Ethan) ran the Phillies. Full write up coming tomorrow.

Rumor roundup:

• In potentially big news, one of the bigger names in Japanese baseball could find himself posted to MLB.
• I’m sure by now you’ve seen the MLBTR free agent prediction contest. It’s, uh, interesting.
