The Philadelphia Phillies sign Didi Gregorious to a 1-year deal worth $14M. This was a phenomenal move. There really is no down side to this. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out and there are comp picks involved. He is obviously a Joe Girardi guy and I think there is value in that. Didi had other options and he chose to come here so I love the fact that this a destination now. There are many questions with the infield right now and I don't think the Phils are done making moves yet. Will they try and move Jean Segura? I can't wait to watch Bryce Harper take the field everyday again. I do want another starting pitcher btw.
The Philadelphia Sixers beat the Denver Nuggets by a score of 97-92. The offense struggled in the fourth quarter once again. They only recorded 14 points and they went scoreless from 4:09 to 15.3 seconds left in the game. Their defense only allowed the Nuggets to score four points in that time. The Sixers defense clearly played a factor as they locked down at times, but there is no denying the offense is ugly.  Ben Simmons had a frustrating night where he was not aggressive. Joel Embiid had 22 points, but he was -8 and he mentioned how it's tough being a closer. I want to see Tobias Harris be the closer. Mattise Thybulle was unbelievable as he went +20 in 26 minutes and dropped 13 points off the bench. He is something else! Josh Richardson finally returned to the lineup and he was clearly off.
