Today is the day for teams and players to exchange arbitration numbers with each other, also a day where a lot of these two settle their differences. The Phillies are no different and have settled with a few players already. There are still a few outstanding cases to be settles and we’ll update them as […]

It is not a hot take to believe the Phillies should sign free agent Bo Bichette to a free agent contract. The reasons why it would be a brilliant on-field move are legion. The 27-year-old shortstop was leading the American League in hits before he went on the Injured List with a bad leg, but […]

As J.T. Realmuto remains unsigned, there are plenty of rumors flying around that the Phillies are considering pivoting away from their veteran catcher. If that happens, the Phillies will likely need to sign a free agent or trade for a replacement to at least share time with returning backup Rafael Marchan. One name that’s been […]

We have never been closer to the 2026 baseball season. But we’re not there yet. And there’s still too much time before it starts. So we have to watch something else. Or read something, which is also a good choice (especially if it’s TGP). Just because it’s not baseball season doesn’t mean there’s nothing baseball-related […]

There was a bit of a stir during the holiday week when Tatsuya Imai put pen to paper and agreed to a deal with the Houston Astros. The deal that he signed contained multiple opt-out clauses in it, one after each season to be exact. It’s interesting that the opt-outs exist since that type of […]

What has seemed like a formality for a while is now official. Don Mattingly will be the bench coach for the Phillies in 2026. It’s a good hire for the team. Mattingly has had success as a bench coach with Toronto, as well as success as a major league manager for the Marlins and Dodgers. […]

This coming season, if the current roster holds true, the lineup is going to look very similar to the one that ended the season in Los Angeles. Nick Castellanos has been swapped out for Adolis Garcia, but other than that, it looks remarkably similar. There is still a lot of time left to make another […]

When the offseason began, it seemed that it was a given that J.T. Realmuto would return to the Phillies. While he was a free agent able to sign with any team he chose, it seemed like he wanted to return to Philadelphia, and the Phillies wanted him back. But we’ve reached January, and Realmuto has […]

The catcher—the backstop, the receiver, the wearer of the tools of ignorance, whatever you may call him— is usually regarded as a lawman. Holding base-thieving ne’er-do-wells to account, the catcher, like their fellow mask enthusiast Judge Dredd, is the law. Dredd, infamously unbending on legal matters, would never break the law himself. But criminal activity […]

You may have noticed, you may not have, but the card collecting business has grown exponentially in the past decade or so.

Well now, this type of rumor might change things for the Phillies: This is a fascinating rumor for a few reasons. Bichette himself would be a good fit for the team, theoretically replacing one of Bryson Stott or Alec Bohm (probably Bohm). He’s a big bat the team seems to need another of, his being […]

So, let’s talk about […]

In something of a surprise move, the Astros added Tatsuya Imai to their rotation on a three year deal that includes a lot of opt-outs. A lot of these incentives are interesting in that they kind of indicate that maybe a lot of teams aren’t really sure he’ll translate to being a starter in MLB. […]

Employees from teams are probably headed back to work this coming week, readjusting to life in the workspace post holidays. Will that mean more moves incoming?
