Latest news and updates about the Phillies
For a moment, let’s imagine the unimaginable. Kyle Schwarber signs with the Cincinnati Reds. Or the Boston Red Sox. Or, the nightmare of all nightmares, the New York Mets.

The Phillies were in need of relief in July. While the trade for Jhoan Duran helped fortify the bullpen, the team knew that he wouldn’t be enough. So, they turned to free agency where an old friend was waiting. David Robertson originally signed with the Phillies as a free agent before 2019, and it was […]

Dale Murphy is another who looked like a sure Hall of Fame choice, in the middle of his career, but his numbers fell off a cliff soon after he turned 30. He played 18 seasons, most of them with the Braves, then three with the Phillies and one with the Rockies. He came up as […]

Earlier this week, it was reported by Katie Woo of the Athletic that St. Louis Cardinals’ 1B/catcher Willson Contreras has become more open to waiving his no-trade clause to facilitate a trade out of St, Louis. It comes in the wake of former teammate Sonny Gray doing the same thing and in turn being traded […]

We are currently in one of the deadest periods of the dead MLB offseason, but fear not! The Winter Meetings are on the horizon, and with them will come some singings and trades as well as numerous “team is interested in player” reports that seem to regurgitate the same information you’ve read for months.

In one week, every front office in baseball (yes, even the Marlins and Pirates will probably attend!) will head to Orlando for the start of the Winter Meetings, MLB’s annual shopping bazaar.

Erwin Schrödinger once presented a thought experiment about a cat and a box. The cat, you see, is both alive and dead until the box is opened, and its true fate is revealed. A free agent is sort of like that: he is both signed and unsigned until the box is opened. We hope that […]

In 2019, the Phillies traded relatively unknown prospect Curtis Mead to the Rays in exchange for relatively unknown prospect Cristopher Sanchez.

1936Ray Benge, just five years removed from a 6.1 WAR season with the Phillies and a workhorse starter almost guaranteed to top 200 innings per season, was purchased from Philadelphia. However, due to a very poor 1936 campaign with the Boston Bees and Phillies, Benge was assigned to Chicago’s Double-A St. Paul Saints club. This […]

There was a time when Lou Trivino was considered a rising relief star. Drafted by the Athletics in 2013, after an inconsistent start to his career, the righthander eventually became the A’s closer and was named American League Reliever of the Month in June 2021. Things quickly went downhill after that. He lost effectiveness to […]

We love a bold prediction here at Amazin’ Avenue, and back in March our Lukas Vlahos wrote a gushing review of Max Kranick’s first five innings of spring training baseball. And for the first two and a half months of the season, Lukas looked like a soothsayer, as Kranick was a reliable bullpen arm who […]
