Latest news and updates about the Phillies
The season is just around the corner with pitchers and catchers reporting this week and we’ve seen a few changes to the Phillies’ roster. For some, the changes have been too few; for some, the changes are just right. Everyone harbors opinions about the direction of the franchise, or else you wouldn’t be here talking […]
The Super Bo— I mean “Big Game” is tomorrow, which means as an Eagles fan, I can only say they are reigning champs for something like 40 more hours. Which is fine because I am ready for baseball season. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Finally, a close vote! Cade Obermueller – 25Jean Cabrera – 23Yoniel Curet – 23Keaton Anthony – 11Griffin Burkholder – 10Carson DeMartini – 9Alex McFarlane – 3Mavis Graves – 3Romeli Espinosa – 2Cody Bowker – 1 It was quite interesting watching the Phillies’ 2025 draft unfold. Once Gage Wood was secured in the first round, the […]
Yesterday we opened the discussion about the Phillies impending youth movement by asking what your expectations were for Justin Crawford. Today, we’ll discuss another one of the Phillies top prospects poised to make a major impact on the big-league club in 2026. It’s been an unconventional path to the Majors for Andrew Painter to say […]
FanGraphs has given us some projections as to how the 2026 season will go for the Phillies. One projection is optimistic about their chances at winning a third straight division title, while the other thinks that run ends at two. So as not to be accused of being hostile to those with a more pessimistic […]
Baseball Prospectus was the latest publication to put out their top 100 prospects list yesterday, only they continue to march to their own beat and gave us 101 names. The Phillies figured rather prominently, placing five names in the list this year. 13 – Aidan Miller51 – Andrew Painter77 – Gage Wood78 – Aroon Escobar98 […]
This intro was originally going to be about how the Pirates were having an interesting offseason after being connected to Kyle Schwarber earlier this winter and with Ken Rosenthal saying they were making an aggressive push for Framber Valdez yesterday. Then the Tigers went and signed Valdez, so the Pirates offseason of “No Paul, we’re […]
The Phillies made their choice. It likely wasn’t the one you or I would have made, but it is one in which the fate of the Phils offense will likely rest. Adolis Garcia will be the everyday right fielder in 2026. Nick Castellanos, although still technically a member of the Philadelphia Phillies as of this […]
FanGraphs has published their projected playoff odds, which means the season draws near. Soon we will have real baseball to bicker and banter over between ourselves. But in the meantime, we can argue over playoff odds. The Phillies are projected by FanGraphs to have a 65.7% chance to make the playoffs, and an 18.9% chance […]

Harper. Schwarber. Realmuto. Turner. Wheeler. The Phillies have some of the biggest names and best players in baseball today — at least, on paper. The five core names on this roster have been together for a few years now, and will mostly be together for the next few years as well. We’ve seen what they’re […]

Moises Chace may have lost some time to injury this year, but maybe it will hasten the time to putting him in his best spot: relief pitching Moises Chace – 53Matthew Fisher – 32Jean Cabrera – 12Cade Obermueller – 9Carson DeMartini – 8Keaton Anthony – 8Alex McFarlane – 5Griffin Burkholder – 4Mavis Graves – 1 […]
The Phillies can annoy us. There are things that they do that can get on our nerves, whether it be a questionable decision by the manager during a game (I’m still not over The Bunt), a trade that was made that returned virtually nothing (that’s all they got for Schilling?) or a season that ended […]
There is no such thing as a bad one year contract. This is something that I have been told and come to believe. There are bad one year contracts insomuch as players turn into pumpkins during that one year, but there is nothing tethering them to the team long term. That’s what makes it a […]
The Phillies will be a contender this year. They have assembled a talented roster that has the ability to go on a run that would ultimately lead them to lifting a trophy when the season ends. This very fact can sometimes offend people who might believe otherwise. Does the team have some holes? Sure. Every […]
Another day, another cold snap that reminds us that the hot stove is probably turned off. Talk to me again when the warm sunshine of Florida is on my screen and I’m whining about how long spring training is. At least there is the World Baseball Classic this year. On to the links. Phillies news: […]
In our last matchup, Luis Garcia easily surpassed David Lough to advance. Here’s the next matchup: 6. Brad Miller, 2021 Stats with the Phillies (in 2021): 140 games, .227/.321/.453, 20 HR, 49 RBI, 0.5 WAR Brad Miller spent the 2019 season with the Phillies, serving mostly as a utility man off the bench. He played […]
Think about the bullpen that the Phillies were putting together when 2025 was beginning. Names like Jose Ruiz and Carlos Hernandez were prominent. Stuff was hard to find. In short, it wasn’t a good bullpen. Fast forward to now: the bullpen is probably the strength of this team. Is it the best way to construct […]
I’m actually kind of surprised how close we are to spring training. Had you asked me, I would have told you it was still like a month and a half away, but it’s kind of snuck up on us. Which is a good thing since we’re all sick of waiting for it to arrive. On […]
Hey! A signing that helps the Phillies shore up their infield depth, but maybe doesn’t move the needle much. Insurance in case Otto Kemp doesn’t work out, Moore could be a good option for the team as a bench bat.
I like Gabriel Rincones, Jr. You like Gabriel Rincones, Jr. Seems like the Phillies like Gabriel Rincones, Jr. You know who else likes him? Left handed pitching.

It’s cold. Very cold. You know where it’s not cold? Clearwater. Now is a pretty good time to plan a Spring Training trip. Phillies news Zack Wheeler was set to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic before his injury derailed the plans. MLB.com takes a look at the Phillies’ outfield for the […]
The snow lingers. Anyone in the Philadelphia area looks outside today and sees white, frozen nothingness that will permeate our thoughts these next few days as the continued frigidness lingers. It’s things like this that cause our minds to wander to Clearwater, to the impending sound of bats against balls, rawhide being hurled on leather, […]
We’re starting to see more and more prospect pieces come out about either a top 100 ranking of individual prospects, or we’re seeing entire systems ranked. How they are being evaluated is probably right around where we would think they were. From Keith Law ($): 15 – What I said about Detroit applies here in […]
