Latest news and updates about the Phillies
Prospect rankings are a great tool to get to know what a team has coming in the pipeline. However, each one is different, as the writer’s own biases naturally come into play, and everyone has a different opinion on a player’s future. After all, projecting what players in their late teens and early twenties who […]

The Phillies have announced Truck Day— and as sure as Punxsutawney Phil not seeing his shadow, that means spring is coming. For those who don’t know, Truck Day involves the Philadelphia Phaithful seeing off the equipment trucks, laden with bat, ball, and glove, as they begin their long, happy journey to Clearwater. There’s photo opportunities […]
We’re hitting the really slow portion of the offseason with most of the big name free agents having signed already. I’m not even sure who is left other than Framber Valdez other than a billion pitchers looking for a team. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Kiley McDaniel, one of the more respected writers in the prospect sphere of baseball coverage, released his top 100 prospects this morning ($). Three Phillies showed up on the list. #10 – Aidan Miller His above-average to plus speed is apparent on the basepaths as shown by his 59 stolen bases last season. Miller could […]
The number six prospect, according to you, in the team’s system is another in their quest to not have a baseball drop in the outfield once it is hit the air. Unfortunately, this one may not be a starter. Dante Nori – 74Francisco Renteria – 47Gabriel Rincones – 26Matthew Fisher – 7Moises Chace – 15Cade […]
I have a feeling that one of the bigger stories entering spring training and the 2026 season is going to be the lineup and how Rob Thomson constructs it. There is a linked story down below about it, but even then, what goes on after the top three in the order hit? Where does Adolis […]
Settle in, folks. Things around here gonna be cold for a while. But enough about the team’s offseason!!! On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
As Phillies fans hope that the team has another big move left in them (Don’t hold your breath!), I decided to take a look at recent offseasons to see how many big moves they’ve made closer to the start of camp. Then, as one does, I decided to make the exercise into an interactive March […]
A lot of people around the team’s fanbase are expecting the Phillies to have a worse season in 2026 than they had in 2025. Whether that be though lack of moves on the free agent/trade market or a natural regression to their true talent, there seems to be a bunch of things people see going […]
As the tri-state area hunkers down for the impending snowstorm, let’s take this opportunity to enjoy a Phillies video from the past. Here’s a game from 1989. You’re welcome. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
If we’re being perfectly logical, the Phillies right now have not been completely successful in their offseason plan as they did not reel in the big fish in Bo Bichette. However, the word “completely” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here since we can still term this offseason successful by looking at what they […]
For the first time in quite some time, the Phillies are primed to have some of their top prospects play real roles on the Major League team. The Big Three of Justin Crawford, Andrew Painter, and Aidan Miller all have paths to playing on the Phillies in 2026 that are varying degrees of open. But […]
The BBWAA has released the results of their vote. Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones made the cut and will join Jeff Kent as new members of the Hall of Fame Chase Utley (59.1%), Andy Pettitte (48.5), Félix Hernández (46.1) and Álex Rodríguez (40.0) were the closest to line without getting over. Not getting 5% of […]
Nothing quite warms the soul like reading about baseball and spring training on a cold winter’s morn. Now let’s check that weekend forecast! On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
*You might’ve thought the Flyers were out of whatever funk they’ve been stuck in but one win does not a turnaround make. And last night they could not make it two in a row. RECAP ! *Travis Konecny, much like all of us, was tired of losing when he hit the ice in Las Vegas Monday night. [ NBC Sports Philly ] *Speaking of certified Grade A winners, Bobby Brink came back into the lineup and the losing immediately ceased. Coincidence?? PERHAPS. Perhaps not. [ Inquirer ] *Ricky Tacos ...
According to Francys Romero , the Chicago Cubs are signing another reclamation pitcher, bringing in righty Yacksel Rios on a minor league deal. The 32-year-old reliever spent parts of the 2017-21, and 2023 seasons in the big leagues, pitching for the Phillies, Pirates, Mariners, Red Sox, and A’s, flashing big stuff without much in the way of results (6.32 career ERA, 5.61 career FIP, but only 98.1 big league innings). Yacksel Rios has also been in the Rays, White Sox, and Braves’ systems,...
In honor of the Philadelphia Phillies playing host to the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, we here at The Good Phight are launching a yearlong series that focuses on the history of the Phillies and the All-Star Game. Check back regularly for posts about the Phillies participation in (or lack […]
Yesterday, the team held a few Zoom conferences with members of the organization. The more prominent one was with J.T. Realmuto as he talked about coming back to Philadelphia to be a member of the Phillies and how he tries to extract whatever he can to help his fellow catchers. An admirable quest for him, […]

Earlier this offseason, we were all a little surprised to hear that the Red Sox were rumored to be interested in catcher J.T. Realmuto. He’s since resigned with the Phillies, but the Sox are reportedly still interested in upgrading at catcher. While the catching position doesn’t feel like a priority given Carlos Narvaez’s successful rookie […]
Dreaming about potential roster moves is always fun, especially in the trenches of the off season. I’ve always had a list of players I’d want to join the Phillies in a perfect world. Some were because of the way they played (like David Wright and Albert Pujols) and some were more for their personalities (like […]
Is it time for pitchers and catchers yet? Phillies News: MLB News:
In a series of events that developed fast enough to give fans whiplash, the Mets went from missing on Kyle Tucker to inking Bo Bichette less than 24 hours later. The 27-year-old shortstop spurned a long-term deal from the Phillies to sign an extremely player-friendly deal in New York; three years, $126 million, and—most critically—opt-outs […]
The thumb went on the scale, folks. There is no result because the results were skewed. How skewed? When closing responses, there were 548 collected. 86.6% of people claimed Dante Nori was the team’s third best prospect. No disrespect to Nori intended, but there is a consensus among the scouting community who the team’s top […]
