Try as I might, I cannot remember one game in which Carlos Hernandez pitched for the Phillies. In fact, searching for his picture in the database for this piece, I had to get real specific about what I was looking for. 2025 stats (w/ Phillies): 25 G, 25 2/3 IP, 18.7 K%, 10.6 BB%, 0.83 […]

It didn’t come as much of a surprise, but earlier this week Dave Dombrowski confirmed what many were thinking in the wake of the Adolis Garcia signing. The Phillies plan for the outfield, at least for now, will be Garcia in right field, Justin Crawford in center, and Brandon Marsh/right-handed batter platoon in left field. […]

The Phillies seem to love last minute shopping, as they made another signing the week before Christmas. This time, they reportedly agreed to a two year deal with former starter-turned-reliever Brad Keller who had a career year out of the bullpen for the Cubs in 2025. He’ll join a strong bullpen mix that includes Johan […]

To say the Phillies’ 2025 outfield was a black hole of productivity isn’t quite accurate. At least black holes have power. With Brandon Marsh, Max Kepler, Nick Castellanos, Weston Wilson and Otto Kemp getting the majority of the playing time through the first four months of the season, the outfield was one of the least […]

The Mets are working toward a deal with free agent reliever Luke Weaver, according to reporting by Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Once finalized, the deal will be for two years and $22 million. The terms with Weaver are the same as the Phillies agreed to with fellow starter-turned-reliever Brad Keller earlier today. […]

MLB Rumors: Luke Weaver and the New York Mets, and Brad Keller and the Philadelphia Phillies, have agreed to free agent deals, per multiple reports. Weirdly, Weaver and Keller are each reportedly getting two year, $22 million deals — the same amount that it was reported yesterday that the San Francisco Giants and Adrian Houser […]

These things come in clusters, and there was a boom-boom today with Brad Keller signing with the Phillies and now Luke Weaver signing with the Mets. And, sure enough, Weaver gets the exact same deal as Keller: When finalized, the Weaver deal will be for 2 years and $22M with the Mets. It is pending physical https://t.co/CUPzBFelxY — Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) December 17, 2025 It was literally this morning in the Bullets that I was talking about whether the remaining bac...

In the continued search for bullpen help, the Phillies have reportedly settled on Brad Keller as the best option to provide reinforcement. Once a starter in the Royals’ system, Keller went to the relief role last year with the Cubs where he flourished. He saw jumps in all of the good stats one wants to […]

Morning, all! Adolis Garcia has signed with the Phillies and expects facing the Rangers on opening day to be an emotional experience. The Rangers are treading on familiar ground as they resign Chris Martin in their efforts to build a bullpen for 2026. Chris Young responded to questions about the Rangers heading into 2026 with […]

The Phillies-Braves rivalry seemed to take a nap last year, thanks both to a down year from the Atlantas and the increasing threat of the Mets. But rivalry never dies, and neither do the Braves. They’ve been active in the free agent market, signing Mike Yastrzemski, Robert Suarez, and Ha-Seong Kim (well, a re-signing in […]

To continue my celebration of the Festival of Lights, I chose one of the team’s Jewish players to review today. Righthanded reliever Max Lazar was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2017, but due to COVID and an injury requiring Tommy John surgery, he lost the 2020 and 2021 seasons. He was able to […]

The team’s signing of Adolis Garcia to (presumably) handle right field duties in 2026 means that the Phillies are likely moving on from Nick Castellanos. His tenure likely ends with a whisper and fighting words with the manager. There were definitely some ups to Castellanos’ tenure with the team, his catch in the 2022 NLDS […]

The Mets bolstered their outfield depth and defense today by adding outfielder Cristian Pache to a minor league contract. Pache, who last played in the majors in 2024, has played for the Braves, Athletics, Phillies, Orioles, and Marlins. The contract also includes an invitation to major league spring training. Pache is a defensive specialist with […]

With the Phillies in need of multiple outfielders for next season, they have reportedly come to terms with free agent Adolis Garcia, formerly of the Texas Rangers. The Cuban-born Garcia got a late start in MLB, playing his rookie season at age 28 in 2021. But he quickly acclimated, making the All-Star team that year, […]

The Texas Rangers let Adolis Garcia go after a steep decline the last two years, but the 32-year-old outfielder found a healthy big league contract available to him. The Philadelphia Phillies are betting relatively big on a Garcia bounce-back: BREAKING: Cuban OF Adolis García and the Philadelphia Phillies are finalizing a one-year, $10 million contract, pending a physical, per sources. Adolis will look to contribute on a contending team and return to his 2023 offensive production, wh...

It is Jimmy Rollins’ fifth time on the ballot. He got 18.0% last year, so he’s moved up a bit from his 9.4% the first time. But he’s not moving up quickly enough to make it. Rollins played 17 seasons, 15 of them with the Phillies. He hit .264/.324/.418 with 231 home runs and 470 […]

He was good. Then he was disappointing. Then he got hurt. One could also say that Alvarado’s injury was a major inflection point for the 2025 Phillies season and not really in the good way. 2025 stats 28 G, 26 IP, 7 SV, 28.1 K%, 6.1 BB%, 1.38 HR/9, 3.81 ERA (3.60 FIP), 0.3 fWAR […]

According to a recent report by Ken Rosenthal, the Phillies are back interested in acquiring Luis Robert, Jr. from the White Sox. This makes some sense as the team continues to look for ways to upgrade their outfield. Center field is still probably the most glaring weakness the team has, probably a bit less son […]

Well, the Eagles are back on track and now the Phillies can make a move. Maybe they should consider finishing up that pesky Realmuto business that lingers around the club, but there are still a few fish in the sea to bring back. Even if it means they have to spend a little money to […]

There’s a presumption that the Cincinnati Reds are intent upon improving their offensive performance heading into the 2026 season. After all, they made a very public pursuit of Kyle Schwarber before the Ohio native signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, and it’s kind of difficult to backtrack from acknowledging how much of an impact he’d have […]

If we’re to read the tea leave correctly, it looks like the next move the team makes (after the Realmuto sweepstakes conclude) is some kind of trade. There have been rumors of Alec Bohm being moved, of Matt Strahm being moved, of the team literally “begging” for Nick Castellanos to be taken off their hands. […]

The hot stove is definitely heating up, but the Phillies are still waiting on their former catcher to decide if he wants to come back into the fold. Strange that they kind of refuse to do other work until that situation is cleared up, but if they have a certain amount of money earmarked for […]
