Latest news and updates about the Phillies
In an interview with Scott Lauber of the Inquirer published yesterday, Zack Wheeler discussed his offseason full of surgery and recovery from a rather significant injury in the most nonchalant, Zack Wheeler way possible. Here’s an excerpt from that fascinating interview below: “In classic Wheeler fashion, he insists he isn’t worried. “I don’t think there’s […]
It was nice to see a healthy dose of Phillies regulars in the game yesterday. It’s hard to stay tuned into spring training games, especially this early, but seeing some of the players you recognize helps. Well at least it will until most of them leave for the World Baseball Classic next week. On to […]

The Phillies have had a bit of success finding guys that they can grab for free, raiding another team that is in a 40-man roster crunch. Curet could possibly be the next. Yoniel Curet – 97Zach McCambley – 82Alex McFarlane – 11Griff Burkholder – 9Keaton Anthony – 9Mavis Graves – 7Seth Johnson – 7 The […]
Last week, we asked you if you think Bryce Harper is still elite. Today, a slightly different question. What would you need to see from Harper in 2026 to deem him still elite? Everyone’s got a different standard for elite. Some would cite WAR. Some would consider that statistic too dismissive of the heart, the […]
Oh gee, another day waking up to snow. How wonderful. The Phillies will play some more games that will be broadcast this week, which always begs the question: why isn’t every single game broadcast? We know some teams and networks cheap out and don’t want to pay announcers or anything like that, but there is […]
For a few moments on Saturday, Phillies fans forgot about the drama. Justin Crawford, the left-handed-hitting rookie who everyone expects to be the everyday center fielder this year, walloped a ringing line drive double off the left-center field wall in his first plate appearance of spring training. It was a beautiful sight. Crawford’s penchant for […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Marlins: ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Let’s talk about it.
With Bryce Harper getting past Luis Garcia and Cliff Lee outgaining Nick Castellanos, we’ve reached the final four of the tournament to decide who was the best “late” free agent signing in recent Phillies history. Here are the semi-final matchups: 1.Cliff Lee, 2011 It’s a shame that Lee spent the final year and a half […]
One of the big questions heading into this Spring Training is who will fill out the five-man rotation to start the season. Most of the starters are set, headlined by reigning Cy-Young finalist Cristopher Sanchez. Aaron Nola, Jesus Luzardo, and Taijuan Walker fill in three of the remaining spots but with Zack Wheeler’s timeline uncertain, […]
The Phillies kicked off the start of their season over the weekend with games against the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates. Many of the names competing for the final few spots in the bullpen and bench played and look to make good impressions for the rest of camp. The first two games of spring […]
We finally got some live Phillies baseball that we can watch this weekend and that means we can make some initial impressions. There were two games that we could draw from: one in which some of the kids started and played a bit and one where the regular lineup looked a little more intact. It […]
The Philadelphia Phillies dropped their home opener in Clearwater to the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 4-3 on Sunday afternoon. Trevor Richards, a thirty-two year old journeyman non-roster invitee, got the start and sandwiched a nice throw on a well-fielded infield dribbler with a pair of strikeouts for a scoreless appearance. As with yesterday’s […]
Rhys Hoskins is now a Guardian, agreeing to a deal with Cleveland on Sunday morning. His lengthy stay in free agency and non-guaranteed deal indicate that he wasn’t in high demand. However, there was at least one team that showed some interest in him, according to this report from Devan Kaney: That certainly got Phillies […]

What a glorious day for baseball! Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays: Let’s talk about it.
These 1:00 Eastern starts really mess with my day. Being in Alberta, it is an 11:00 start. I like to get a workout in, but I’m not an early riser, so getting a GameThread together and working out before 11:00 is not going to happen. On the other hand, watching an 11:00 start-time game, doing […]
It’s been a few months since Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski made public comments questioning Bryce Harper’s status as an elite player. Harper certainly didn’t have an elite season in 2025, but is that enough to demote a player entirely? Harper has admitted to still being baffled by the comments, but the good news is that […]
Every year we get excited for the start of the Spring Training schedule of games. A long winter without baseball finally ends, even if the games don’t count. Then we quickly remember that the spring games are usually for the players we’ve never heard of or may never hear from again, as anyone important is […]
Welcome to the last Friday without Phillies baseball for a while. Well, that’s not strictly true: there’ll be a Friday off after the home opener. But you know what I mean. Onto the links. Phillies news: For those of us lucky enough to go to Clearwater, the Phillies announced the fan amenities you can expect […]

Today marks one week that the marriage between the Phillies and Nick Castellanos officially came to an end. Both sides have since appeared to move on, as the Phillies look to their new starting right fielder in Adolis Garcia and Castellanos has agreed to a deal with the San Diego Padres. The end of the […]
