Latest news and updates about the Phillies
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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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,...
