The Union’s release of three players begins what baseball calls the “hot stove league,” the series off-season moves each team undertakes to remake itself. PSP looks at the first moves, some potential new signings with Pennsylvania ties, and how a key league policy change could impact the Union.
The Union announce they have waived three players ahead of Monday afternoon’s Waiver Draft, freeing up two international spots and $439,000 in base salary.
Sebastien Le Toux may be on the market. But is he still a fit for the Union? And was he ever a fit for a Union team with championship aspirations?
While 2012 was not the breakout year for Michael Farfan that many had expected or hoped for, is there a player on the roster with more upside?
A look at some end of season stats from 2010 through 2012.
Should the Union bring Le Toux back? Conor O’Grady explains why the answer is yes.
You know exactly what you get, week in, week out, with Brian Carroll and in a young team, that consistency is worth a great deal.
A Union spokesperson tells PSP that Carlos Valdes will not be playing for Independiente Sante Fe in the offseason. Also, Gabriel Gomez is not training with another team through any arrangement made through the Union.
Gabriel Gomez was brought to Philadelphia to bind the midfield together, combining leadership with playmaking abilities. It didn’t really work out that way.
It hurts now, but one day we’ll look back on the 2012 season and remember not the losses but what was gained through what we all endured.
