How much closer are the Phillies to winning a World Series?

Let’s assume, for a moment, that the Phillies were done adding to their team. Logic would tell us that either J.T.

If that happens, the Phillies will likely need to sign a free agent or trade for a replacement to at least share time with returning backup Rafael Marchan. One name that’s been […]

What baseball media are you enjoying right now?

We have never been closer to the 2026 baseball season. But we’re not there yet. And there’s still too much time before it starts. So we have to watch something else.
