Latest news and updates about the Phillies
Toward end of the 2024 season, the Phillies called outfielder Cal Stevenson to the majors to serve as outfield depth. His stay with the major league club was largely nondescript, with most of his appearances coming as a defensive replacement. But he had one memorable game against the New York Mets in which he had […]

The actual season that Weston Wilson played is totally fine: bland, average, fungible. He’s a bench player and no more. There is honor in that as teams are always looking for bench bats that can produce. His path was marred by injury, but his actual place on the roster brings up some questions about how […]

Game #7 it is! We didn’t get one at all last season: the previous instance was in the 2023 Championship Series, when both iterations went the distance. You may remember the last time it happened, it being the NL version. 🙂 For in that, the D-backs beat the Phillies in their own ballpark. Indeed, both […]

It’s that time of year again, where we review all of the players that donned the red pinstripes during the 2025 season. For a team as veteran laden as the Phillies are, there were a lot more random players that played a part in the team’s NL East division title than I initially thought. One […]

All of the speculation right now that is swirling around the Nick Castellanos situation is interesting. While clearly the team needs to move from him on the field, it’s in the locker room that I am most interested in. Reports showed up this week that the team was “disgusted” with Castellanos’ actions towards Rob Thomson […]

It’s a pivotal offseason for the Phillies that lies ahead. They need to make at least some changes to their roster in the hopes they can get past the Dodgers and the other teams in the National League to play in a World Series. The options in front of them are difficult, yet varied. They […]

Tonight marks Game 6 of the ALCS, a series that has been interesting. The first two games were relatively uncompetitive, one somewhat close, the other a blowout. The next two games were rather large blowouts going the other direction, knotting the series at two. Friday’s grand slam by Eugenio Suarez broke open a tight game […]

For the second straight year, the Philadelphia Phillies won the National League East with a win total in the mid-90s. And for the second straight year, the season ended with a 3-1 defeat to a lower-seeded team in the NLDS. It isn’t a revelation to say that regular season baseball is a different animal than […]

I think what will bother me for this entire offseason is that the Phillies had the Shohei Ohtani locked up. He was doing absolutely nothing at the plate. On the mound, different story, but when he put a bat in his hands, the Phillies were ready. It was quite impressive to watch them completely bottle […]

It appears the Nick Castellanos era in Philadelphia is coming to a close. Reporting yesterday indicated that the Phillies plan to either trade or release Castellanos this winter, ahead of the final season of his five-year contract with the club, following a year where he clashed with club manager Rob Thomson and struggled to produce…

We all look forward to the end of season press conference that is given by the people in charge. Dave Dombrowski and Rob Thomson usually give relatively honest answers when questioned by reporters, a refreshing change from other executives that dance around questions and give generic, boring answers. After letting it sit for a day, […]

In case you weren’t aware, it was reported earlier this week that the Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman would indeed be opting out of the remaining two years on his contract with Boston and will enter free agency. It was not really an unexpected move, as Bregman sat around all of last offseason looking […]

The Phillies are likely to trade or release Nick Castellanos this offseason, reports Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The veteran outfielder is owed $20MM for the final season of a five-year, $100MM free agent deal. It has been apparent for the past few months that Castellanos’ time with the organization would probably come to an end…

There are many different things to write about in the World of Baseballs, or, in bigger terms, the World of Sports. There’s the fact that the boring mega-payroll Dodgers just ousted the fun, also mega-payroll Phillies from the playoffs. (Ben has you covered.) Personally, I think the entire playoff structure is wack, and it should […]

There will be a rundown of everyone at the end of the year so no particular reason to go over Nunez's power surge or Wood's power drop (before today) right now. Instead let's meet some newer guys since there are a lot of new faces around Jorge Alfaro - in the "we gotta try something behind the plate" world that the Nats are in - here is Alfaro. If the name sounds familiar we was a big-time prospect about a decade ago for the Phillies, a key piece to the Rangers trade f...
