Updated Phillies Offseason Moves - Pre-Winter Meetings Edition

2018 Chachi Departures #1
2018 Chachi Departures #2
2018 Chachi Departures #3

As the Winter Meetings get underway in Florida, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the Phillies' offseason moves so far.  I would expect (hopefully) the number of additions and subtractions to grow as this week progresses.

Engelb Vielma's Phillies tenure lasted last than a month, and he joins recent recipients A.J. Achter and Dan Otero as players appearing within the Chachi New Additions insert set to move on before spring training.  Vielma and Cameron Perkins were both placed on waivers - and claimed - on Monday giving the team two openings on their 40-man roster.

Perkins appeared in 42 games last season, hitting .182 with a home run.  Perkins was claimed by the Mariners.  He joins Brock Stassi and Jesen Therrien in the Chachi Departures insert set.  Stassi, who signed with the Twins last week, appeared in 51 games for the Phillies, hitting .167 with 2 home runs.  Therrien will miss the entire 2018 season following Tommy John surgery.  The Dodgers picked him up with the hope he can contribute upon his return in 2019.

This reminds me of the first line in The Coasters' big hit "Yakety Yak".
