Dave Dombrowski fails to land the plane, now what?
It was a sucker punch. All week, every national media pundit and baseball writer insisted the Phillies were “heavy favorites” to land free agent infielder Bo Bichette. All week, momentum had been building. Meanwhile, negotiations continued. While nothing is ever certain until the dotted line is signed, we were almost assured Bichette was already trying […]
Phillies bring back J.T. Realmuto for three years
A consolation prize. We’ll have more, but I’m still mad at Bo.
Phillies lose out on Bichette, all is lost
Well shoot. I’m usually optimistic about the team….but this stinks.
The Good Phight’s Community Prospect list: #2 – Andrew Painter

Who will be the Phillies’ starting catcher when pitchers and catchers report?
Believe it or not, but spring training is approaching fast. The Phillies have yet to officially announce when their pitchers and catchers will report to Clearwater, but it’s a safe bet that it will be somewhere around February 11th to 15th, as their first game action will take place on February 21st. But there’s one […]
Phillies News: Francisco Renteria, Aroon Escobar, Bo Bichette
It’s Friday again. And yet again, I’m writing a links post that doesn’t feature a headline about Bo Bichette signing. Maybe next Friday. Onto the links. Phillies news Francisco Renteria, newly signed with the Phillies, draws a comparison to Bobby Abreu from MLB.com. That’s a good sign. MLB Film Room gives a quick breakdown of […]
Phillies sign top Venezuelan prospect as international signing day begins
The international signing period opens up today, which means the Phillies can officially add one of the top prospects available in Francisco Renteria. From the sounds of it, the Phillies have gotten themselves a big time prospect. Here is the scouting report on Renteria, courtesy of Fangraphs: Renteria has arguably the best raw power projection […]
Examining the Phillies future payroll as they try to sign Bo Bichette
At the beginning of the off-season, it seemed very unlikely the Phillies would be able to sign a big-money free agent if they also brought back Kyle Schwarber. Of course, they ultimately secured the reigning NL MVP runner-up to a five-year, $150 million contract back in December. The chances of signing one of the other […]
Ranger Suárez is reportedly headed to Boston. How do you feel about it?
It wasn’t unexpected, but the news of Ranger Suárez’ departure from Philadelphia still came with a touch of somberness. Yesterday it was reported that the lefty agreed to a five year, $130M contract with the Boston Red Sox. Suárez is leaving the only organization he’s ever known in the Phillies, as he signed with the […]
Phillies News: Ranger Suárez, Jesús Luzardo, J.T. Realmuto
It was inevitable, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt. In case you missed it, Ranger Suárez has found a new home in Boston with a reported five year, $150M deal, leaving the Phillies after being in their organization since 2012. It’s bittersweet, as Suárez was beloved in Philadelphia, but it’s nice to see him […]

Free agency no-man’s land
After the Philadelphia Eagles’ utterly predictable playoff loss on Sunday, one sentiment I commonly saw was that the Phillies needed to sign Bo Bichette to help raise the spirits of the city’s sports fans. It still hasn’t happened, but that’s not terribly surprising. As we’ve seen, baseball’s free agency period is far different than other […]
Should the Phillies Change the Dimensions of CBP?
The walls are closing in on the Kansas City Royals. Usually, that’s a bad thing. But in this case, it’s not (at least, not if you’re a hitter). The Royals will be moving their fences in, as well as shortening them, in the hopes of making venerable Kauffman Stadium a more hitter-friendly park. Though not […]

Looking into Bo Bichette’s Red Flags
It’s been widely reported that the Phillies are interested in Bo Bichette and met with him on Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Maybe he signed with them (or someone else) by the time you read this. There are good reasons to like Bichette as a player. He hit .311 with […]
Who is partying on Broad Street next?
With the Eagles’ loss on Sunday comes a whole lot of questions about the trajectory of the reigning Super Bowl Champions, and opens the door for another of Philadelphia’s teams to take over as the city’s winners. So who has the best chance at winning the next championship? The Phillies have made the postseason now […]

The Good Phight’s Community Prospect list: an introduction
It is that time again, time where the participation by you the readers is going to be incredibly important. The 2026 season is upon us and that means we get to rank prospects! The Good Phight’s community prospect list is back for its second season with a small change. Last year, when we did this, […]
How much closer are the Phillies to winning a World Series?
Let’s assume, for a moment, that the Phillies were done adding to their team. Logic would tell us that either J.T. Realmuto or Bo Bichette is going to be wearing red pinstripes once the team begins 2026 play, but without a signature, they can’t be part of the equation just yet. Without Realmuto at least, […]
Phillies news: Prospects, Bo Bichette, Alex Bregman
Well that sucked. Hopefully by the team you read this, Kevin Patullo has been fired. Anyway, it’s almost officially Phillies season, so if you’re coming back over to these parts after focusing in on the Eagles, welcome back. You haven’t missed a ton, but hey, there is still much to be decided. On to the […]
The All-Phillies coaches team
Last week, the Phillies hired Don Mattingly to be their bench coach. You probably know that Mattingly was a star player during his career, making six All-Star teams and winning an MVP award. With that in mind, I tried to assemble an All-Star team of players who either coached or managed the Phillies. First base: […]

The results: You like Bo!
This week, we asked you the readers about if there was anyone else the team should be considering signing this offseason. The results? Now, maybe this was a sign of the times. Maybe these were the results after it was announced that the team was having a meeting with Bichette. However, he does seem to […]
What might be Bo Bichette’s better position with the Phillies?
Let’s have a little rampant speculation run amok here. Let’s say that the Phillies are actually able to push this one over the goal line and sign Bo Bichette. We’re not really worried about the years or money right now, we’re worried about fit. Roster construction wise, he’s a good fit since he does a […]
