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 […]

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 […]

To state the obvious: the mood in the Phillies fandom has not been overly sanguine in the past few days. The Phillies missed a chance to get better with Bo Bichette, while their rivals in Queens did not. There are still plenty of reasons to believe in the Phillies as a major contender for next […]

To call yesterday something of a whirlwind would probably be an understatement. The Phillies went from a team that was seemingly on the verge of adding a huge free agent to their roster on one hand to bringing back a key piece of their team and it being something of a disappointment on the other, […]

A consolation prize. We’ll have more, but I’m still mad at Bo.

Believe it or not, but spring training is approaching fast. The Phillies have yet to officially announce when their pitchers and catchers will report to Clearwater, but it’s a safe bet that it will be somewhere around February 11th to 15th, as their first game action will take place on February 21st. But there’s one […]

It’s Friday again. And yet again, I’m writing a links post that doesn’t feature a headline about Bo Bichette signing. Maybe next Friday. Onto the links. Phillies news Francisco Renteria, newly signed with the Phillies, draws a comparison to Bobby Abreu from MLB.com. That’s a good sign. MLB Film Room gives a quick breakdown of […]

The international signing period opens up today, which means the Phillies can officially add one of the top prospects available in Francisco Renteria. From the sounds of it, the Phillies have gotten themselves a big time prospect. Here is the scouting report on Renteria, courtesy of Fangraphs: Renteria has arguably the best raw power projection […]

At the beginning of the off-season, it seemed very unlikely the Phillies would be able to sign a big-money free agent if they also brought back Kyle Schwarber. Of course, they ultimately secured the reigning NL MVP runner-up to a five-year, $150 million contract back in December. The chances of signing one of the other […]

It wasn’t unexpected, but the news of Ranger Suárez’ departure from Philadelphia still came with a touch of somberness. Yesterday it was reported that the lefty agreed to a five year, $130M contract with the Boston Red Sox. Suárez is leaving the only organization he’s ever known in the Phillies, as he signed with the […]

It was inevitable, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt. In case you missed it, Ranger Suárez has found a new home in Boston with a reported five year, $150M deal, leaving the Phillies after being in their organization since 2012. It’s bittersweet, as Suárez was beloved in Philadelphia, but it’s nice to see him […]

MLB Rumors: The Boston Red Sox and Ranger Suarez have agreed to terms on a five year, $130 million deal, per reports. Suarez, a 30 year old lefthanded starter, has spent his entire career up to this point with the Philadelphia Phillies, who signed him as an international free agent in 2012. After getting a […]

After the Philadelphia Eagles’ utterly predictable playoff loss on Sunday, one sentiment I commonly saw was that the Phillies needed to sign Bo Bichette to help raise the spirits of the city’s sports fans. It still hasn’t happened, but that’s not terribly surprising. As we’ve seen, baseball’s free agency period is far different than other […]

The walls are closing in on the Kansas City Royals. Usually, that’s a bad thing. But in this case, it’s not (at least, not if you’re a hitter). The Royals will be moving their fences in, as well as shortening them, in the hopes of making venerable Kauffman Stadium a more hitter-friendly park. Though not […]
