Latest news and updates about the Phillies
The Yankees are back in action today on the last sabbath before baseball stats start to matter again. The Bombers take on the Phillies in the final spring training game of the year at GMS Field in Tampa, and dare we label this one a potential pitching duel? Will Warren gets the ball for New […]
Friends, we have a roster. The 26th man was a debate for a few days, though maybe it never should have been. A few token appearances by Garrett Stubbs appears to have not swayed the team’s thinking as to who would ultimately make the team. There will be more bullpen shuffling once the members of […]
The Phillies will play their penultimate game of the 2026 Grapefruit League season on Sunday when they travel to Tampa to face the New York Yankees. Aaron Nola, coming off a strong performance in the WBC will get the ball in his final appearance before the regular season. The Yankees will go with righthander Will […]
A while ago, Cristopher Sanchez agreed to an extension with the Phillies that eventually made him incredibly underpaid. Now, the team has done right by their ace. According to reports, there is new money that is up to $107 million. That the team would choose to give Sanchez a new contract rather than continue to […]
This current Phillies era of being October regulars began in 2022, when they got in as the final NL Wild Card and then went on a run to the World Series before falling to the Astros. In the three years since, they’ve made the postseason every time and won the NL East in the last […]
There has been quite the amount of negativity surrounding the Phillies this offseason. It does not help that the players they ended up signing this offseason were the same ones that were on the team last year, a pot probably stirred a bit by national and local media focusing on the idea that they are […]
With the announcement that Andrew Painter had made the starting rotation and that Justin Crawford had his contract selected, the team’s final roster is starting to take shape. We should know the fate of the 26th man on the roster soon enough (please don’t be Stubbs, please don’t be Stubbs…), at which point we will […]
With this afternoon’s game, the Orioles spring training season in Florida will be over. There are two more exhibition games to be played in Baltimore and in Washington, but those are not part of the Grapefruit League. The O’s bring a 10-13-3 record into this one, with two games that were canceled due to rain. […]
I have a busy Saturday, in front of leaving for Japan on Sunday, so getting this together Friday night. The Jays are in Bradenton, Florida, which is a very pretty town. But the game isn’t going to be on TV. Also the Jays Prospect are playing the Phillies prospects in Clearwater. And this game is […]
The team’s starting rotation is out and it should not be a surprise. Cristopher Sanchez will start the opener and will be followed by Aaron Nola and Jesus Luzardo. Anyone thinking Rob Thomson would keep the lefties back-to-back has not watched Thomson manage these past few years. Not there is much to gain from it, […]

We’ll talk about the players that will occupy them, the players behind them, their strengths and weaknesses and give a few takes about how we think the season will shake out. Had I told you that the Phillies […]

Less than one week remains until Phillies baseball is back. Nuf Ced. Phillies news Dylan Moore has exercised his opt-out. The Phillies must either add him to the 40-man within 48 hours (of his decision), or lose him. The Phillies have announced the new concessions items for fans to enjoy in 2026. This includes eight […]

With Opening Day just a week away, I thought it was time to dive into the schedule, specifically how hard it is to begin the season. The Nats open their season with matchups against the Cubs, Phillies and Dodgers. All three of those teams made the playoffs last year and project to be fearsome foes […]
There is a lot happening today for the Phillies. They have a regular game and a Breakout Game game(?). Let’s talk about them!
There are couple of really bad trades in Rays franchise history and the Philadelphia Phillies are responsible for at least two of the them. During the expansion draft, the Devil Rays sent Bobby Abreu to Philadelphia for Kevin Stocker. That move turned out badly, but at least Stocker was a competent shortstop for a bit […]
It won’t be until mid-April that the Atlanta Braves face the Philadelphia Phillies again. What started as a pretty underwhelming showcase today with the Braves turned into a late win (3-2) as the lineup couldn’t manage a hit to get on the board until the bottom of the seventh inning where Michael Harris II hit […]

The bar is low for Adolis García. […]
It was almost Bedlam at the Bank again. Almost. Bryce Harper delivered a late-game blast to flip the script in a big moment, but this time around, his team didn’t end up finishing the job. Bryce Harper and Team USA fell just short of victory, with Team Venezuela (and beloved former Phillie Ranger Suarez) reaching […]
Alright, it’s time to make your official prediction for the season. We have talked all offseason long about the Phillies and the moves they made and didn’t make. There has been gnashing of teeth, rending of garments, all the marks of people unhappy with what they have accomplished in the player acquisition department. Now, we […]
Is there anything that goes together quite like the Phillies and St. Patrick’s Day? After all, “Phillie” kind of sounds like an Irish term, and the team mascot is green for some reason. The Phillies used to wear green uniforms on the holiday, but due to Nike’s rules limiting the number of uniforms, that tradition […]
