The New York Mets are scheduled to speak with former Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long on Tuesday about a position on the major-league coaching staff, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. Long, 59, was fired as Phillies hitting coach last week after five years with the team. The Phillies were top ten in […]
Kevin Long was the Mets' hitting coach for three seasons.
Who should the Phillies definitely hold on to this offseason? Dave Dombrowski must get creative in order to improve an expensive and aging roster that relies heavily on star talent. Most of those stars are in the starting rotation. Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner are among with veteran lineup regulars with no-trade clauses. […]
For the first half of the season, things were coming together perfectly for Brandon Marsh. Acquired during the 2022 Trade Deadline, Marsh had been carving out a nice role for himself with the team. As a Phillie entering 2026, he hit .270 with a .786 OPS, mostly facing right-handed pitching. He wasn’t always platooned, but […] The post The Numbers Behind Brandon Marsh’s Second-Half Collapse appeared first on The Lead .
There are two questions about how we assess Justin Crawford’s rookie season. How is he impacting a club that intended to contend for a World Series title in 2026? And does his rookie season, even if it wasn’t perfect, show a player that can stick on the roster for 2027 and beyond? Since the Phillies […]
The needs the Phillies have entering the 2027 season are plenty. The expiration of the CBA clouds many things about the future of the game, but we know that at some point, baseball will be played. When it is played, the Phillies will need to improve their roster if they want to be competitive again. […]
If you’re trying to determine what potential free agent outfielder might make the most sense for the Phillies, Ian Happ […]
Tampa Bay has a 3-2 lead in the ALCS and is heading home to finish it off. It has been a very good series for both teams so far and is tough to see it end either way. Though both are probably getting steamrolled by Milwaukee. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Former Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was hired by the Phillies to be their third base coach earlier this week. Philadelphia wasn’t the only team pursuing him, though. Jorge Castillo of ESPN reports that Mendoza was in the mix for the Mariners’ managerial vacancy. He withdrew his name to take the job with the Phillies. New […]
Alec Bohm had been a trade candidate for the Philadelphia Phillies in each of the last two years. Now, he's a free agent and able to decide on his own future. The big question is: will the Phillies try to re-sign him? Batting .249 with 15 home runs, 88 RBIs, and a .698 OPS, Bohm suffered a downtick in some of his averages this season, but still drove in 88 for the Phils. Plus, he has positional versatility, able to play first or third. According to Mark Feinsand , other than the Ph...
Bryson Stott‘s floor is high. But everyone involved seems to believe that his ceiling, also high, is something the Phillies […]
Could the Phillies reduce J.T. Realmuto's playing time? Are the Athletics about to tear down their roster? FanSided has you covered with more MLB rumors.
How might the Phillies replace the offensive production of Alec Bohm at third base? Here’s an idea. According to Yahoo! […]
Will the Phillies trade Bryce Harper this offseason? It’s very unlikely. Harper, one of only two well above average hitters for the Phillies in 2026, has a full no-trade clause. He goes only if he wants to go. Harper had repeatedly said that But if the Phillies are seeking real change this offseason, every potential […]
Even though the NLCS is over and the ALCS is starting to wind down, it’s easy to look at both rosters and wonder what might be. Each roster is littered with players that would be great on any team, but that’s not what we’re here for. Which player, from any team that was in the […]
PHILADELPHIA — As Tom Burgoyne prepared to take on what might be the most ridiculous job in America, his predecessor decided to mess with him. Dave Raymond, the original performer inside the Phillie Phanatic costume, is left-handed. So as Burgoyne, his backup for five years, took some pointers, Raymond told the righty that their boss, […]
It was too late for me to add to the news yesterday, but how about the Orioles owner saying the quiet part out loud? Honestly, I don’t think that it does much to sway anything in the upcoming negotiations either way too wildly. The MLBPA still hasn’t started putting out ads to combat the ones […]
The Orioles’ disappointing season can be attributed to poor offensive and defensive performances by key players, and injuries to some others. It can’t be attributed to the bullpen. Perhaps the most surprising stat about Oriole relievers is that they pitched the fourth-fewest innings in baseball, 573. Only the Dodgers, Phillies and Mariners used the bullpen […]
Alec Bohm, the Philadelphia Phillies’ corner infielder, opened 2026 hitting .159 through his first 35 games, but managed to drive in 73 runs over his final 120 games to finish the season. However, that production was not enough to salvage a highly disappointing year where he batted just .249 overall, and his impending departure now […] The post “May Be the Most Important Piece”: Phillies Warned Against Letting Go of $10.2M Star appeared first on EssentiallySports .
J.T. Realmuto has long been one of the league’s most durable catchers, and that has continued into his mid-30s. He leads the Majors with 613 games started behind the plate since 2022. That includes 122 games started this year, which bests the Brewers’ William Contreras by one game for tops at the position. At the […]
The New York Mets decided to move on from manager Carlos Mendoza during the regular season. It seemed as if Mendoza would be a candidate to manage once again in 2027. Sure enough, Mendoza was reportedly linked to the Seattle Mariners manager opening before he joined the Philadelphia Phillies as a third base and infield […] The post MLB rumors: Carlos Mendoza was linked to Mariners before joining Phillies coaching staff appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Change is coming to Philadelphia (we hope). If the NLCS, and to a lesser extent the ALCS, has taught us anything, it’s that the Phillies need to make things different for next year’s roster if they want to have a chance at competing for a World Series. There is a gap that currently exists between […]
In recent years, the Phillies have expressed a desire to sign a player coming to Major League Baseball from Japan. It makes sense considering the many Japanese imports who have succeeded recently. Just last season, Munetaka Murakami provided the White Sox a huge boost, while Kazuma Okamoto was a strong contributor for the Blue Jays. […]
I don’t know, I’m not all that inspired by Dave Dombrowski’s end of year presser. He sounded like he’s going to try and make changes, but with this roster as it is, how will be actually do that? Some are going to have waive some no-trade clauses for that to actually happen. On to the […]
Since reaching the 2022 World Series and subsequently losing to the Houston Astros, the Philadelphia Phillies’ postseason success has steadily declined. In 2023, the Phillies bowed out in the NLCS, then lasted only to the NLDS in the two years that followed. This year, they fell another step down with an NL Wild Card Round […] The post “I’m Doing Stupid Money”: Phillies’ Biggest Problem Exposed as Analyst Calls Out Owner Amid Major Concerns appeared first on EssentiallySports .
