This is a reach regarding Soto , but watch out for the Phillies.
I have some inside type info .
I went to a family wedding last weekend and my wifes uncle has an inside to all Philly teams.
He's a private investigator but he also does some work as an agent/advisor to old retired Philly hockey players and is friends with a lot of people in the Philly sports scene both past and present. He works with Bernie Parant, Bobby Clarke and other old Flyers.
He also has Phillies season tickets and attends tons of area charity events so he's always bumping elbows with people.
He got me free Rob Zombie/ Alice Cooper tickets last summer because he knows Rob Zombie from a charity event.
I was talking to him at the wedding and he mentioned he was doing some work for Trea Turner but could not say what it was and that my wifes cousin , watched Kyle Schwarbers dogs for him when he is out of town and he used to drive around Odubell Herrera to events.
The guy has tons of connections with all the Philly teams.
Enough about all that , I was talking to him asking if he was heartbroken over their playoff loss to the Mets and it got to the point he was saying the Phillies are looking to move Alec Bohm which pisses him off and maybe Castellanos and when I brought up I think the Mets are going to land Soto , he said no , he's signing with Philly.
I doubted him , and he just said you watch.
I doubt he's going to be right , but I just read this morning he's going to meet with the Phillies so I decided to mention this.
