2013 Chachi Almost #5 Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez


For ten teams, the postseason began last night.  (And it will continue for nine teams.)  For the Phillies, the offseason began when Cesar Hernandez flew out to Braves left fielder Justin Upton to end Game 162 and begin the long countdown to the day when pitchers and catchers report to Clearwater.

This post will serve as a look back at the in-season transactions made by the Phillies.  The only move below with serious ramifications for 2014 is the signing of Cuban defector and right-handed pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez.  Various reports I've read have him either slated as the team's third starter or as a back-end of the bullpen guy.  Either way, here's hoping the $12 million, three year contact the Phils gave to the pitcher pays off.
