We think we’ve figured out who bought the ‘cursed’ Ben Simmons/Nick Castellanos house
A new theory suggests that Bryce Harper and his wife Kayla bought the Moorestown mansion once owned by former Sixers star Ben Simmons and Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos. The $4.89 million property was sold to an entity called Half Dozen LLC, a name that could reference the Harper family’s six members. The link comes from the listing agent, Melissa Casterioto, who previously worked for the Phillies and is married to former Phillies communications chief Greg Casterioto—Harper’s PR contact during his early Philadelphia years. If the Harpers sell their Haddonfield home for $4.5 million, the proceeds would help offset the Moorestown purchase, potentially ending the "cursed" house saga.
The feeling around the Sixers right now is a special one, because it’s all about fun
The 2026‑27 Philadelphia Sixers are embracing a "fun" mantra, a vibe that’s translating into on‑court success.

Jamie Drysdale records a career‑high three points and a plus‑five rating in the Flyers’ 6‑3 victory over Utah on Nov. 1, 2026. The defenseman assisted two second‑period goals (Travis Konecny, Noah Cates) and sparked teammate Trevor Zegras’s disbelief, prompting the playful “I threw my phone” reaction. Coach Rick Tocchet praises Drysdale’s skating, breakout play and puck‑moving instincts, noting his growth into a top‑four defender despite past injuries and inconsistency. The standout night underscores Drysdale’s emerging offensive impact and the Flyers’ confidence in his development.

Mike Gansey’s offseason work to improve bench paying off for Sixers
Coach Nick Nurse credits GM Mike Gansey’s offseason moves for the Sixers’ early success, highlighting the additions of Dean Wade and Anfernee Simons as crucial for shooting, versatility and defense. After a 6‑1 start, the team leans on depth to offset injury worries surrounding Joel Embiid, who was listed questionable with foot plantar fascia but started, and other players like Dominick Barlow. Gansey also secured role players such as Jabari Walker and kept Adem Bona in the mix, bolstering rebounding and hustle plays. Nurse says the new pieces will become "prominent" as the 82‑game grind tests the roster.
The Phillies didn’t extend a qualifying offer to Alec Bohm
The Phillies declined to tender a qualifying offer to third baseman Alec Bohm, passing on the one‑year, $23.15 million deal that would have secured draft‑pick compensation if he left in free agency. While eight other players—including Jake Bauers and Seiya Suzuki—received offers, the club chose not to risk the salary amid pressing outfield and bullpen needs. Bohm finished 2026 with a .698 OPS and 0.2 WAR, driving in 90 runs, but remains a free agent with no compensation owed to Philadelphia if he signs elsewhere. Dave Dombrowski emphasized it’s too early to label Bohm’s future with the team.
What would the Phillies have to give up to sign free agent with qualifying offer?
Eight MLB players—including outfielders Randy Arozarena and Seiya Suzuki—received qualifying offers worth $23.15 million each. If the Phillies sign any qualified free agent, they must surrender their 2027 second‑ and fifth‑round draft picks plus $1 million of international bonus pool money, a penalty shared by nine teams that exceeded the 2026 luxury tax. The article weighs Arozarena and Suzuki as potential right‑handed hitting outfield solutions, and notes reliever Adrian Morejon as a bullpen fit, though Dombrowski’s reluctance to lock up relievers and the draft‑pick cost may deter signings. It also recalls the last QO‑decline signing—Trea Turner from the Dodgers in 2022.
Phillies announce series of roster moves, including claiming 2 off of waivers
The Phillies made several roster moves on Nov. 2, 2026, claiming two players off waivers: 28‑year‑old infielder Brett Harris (.186 average) and versatile 28‑year‑old Shay Whitcomb (.196 average, .539 OPS). Catcher Garrett Stubbs (33) elected free agency after being DFA’d. The team also reinstated Brad Keller, Caleb Killian, Felix Reyes and Johan Rojas to the 40‑man roster from the 60‑day IL—a procedural step. Keller remains sidelined after elbow reconstruction, Killian (out of options) heads to the bullpen, Reyes (fractured wrist) is back in Triple‑A, and Rojas, after a PED suspension and elbow surgery, faces an uncertain future. The moves reshape the depth chart heading into the 2027 season.
Saquon Barkley might be staying, but these 7 Eagles are trade candidates
The Philadelphia Eagles, now 2‑6 after a six‑game losing streak, may become sellers before the Nov. 10 deadline. While Saquon Barkley appears set to stay, GM Howie Roseman could move several trade‑eligible players: defensive tackle Moro Ojomo (7th‑round 2023 pick, $3.7 M rookie year), guard Landon Dickerson (injury‑prone veteran with playoff experience), cornerback Riq Woolen (one‑year, $12 M deal after a shaky game vs. Dallas), tight end Dallas Goedert (career‑high 11 TDs last season, $18.3 M dead cap hit), and linebacker Nolan Smith Jr. The article outlines each player’s value, contract status, and why they might be packaged for a playoff contender.

Truth hurts, winning helps: Flyers respond after blunt internal reckoning
After a 5-2 defeat to Washington, the Philadelphia Flyers held a candid players‑only meeting that sparked a turnaround.

The Friday session led to a big win, highlighted by Travis Konecny’s second‑period goal and the return of veterans Owen Tippett and Konecny after six games out. Couturier emphasized accountability, while both veterans described the frustration of watching from the bench. The renewed focus and added experience aim to restore the Flyers’ consistency.

Bob’s Obs: Yuck, yuck and more yuck as Eagles lose sixth straight
The Philadelphia Eagles fall to Washington 27‑10 on Nov. 2, extending their losing streak to six games. After a promising 10‑point opening burst, the injury‑ridden offense scores only once—a touchdown set up by a forced fumble from safety Andrew Mukuba. Quarterback Tanner McKee struggles under pressure, completing just one pass for 20 yards before a turnover. Defensive lapses, missed kicks (Elliott’s 41‑yard field goal hits the upright) and 15 penalties costing 100 yards seal the loss. Highlights include a brief standout run by Saquon Barkley and a solid effort from running back Elijah Mitchell, but overall the team appears stuck in a season‑de‑date rut.

Japanese MVP that Phillies have been linked to officially posted
Japanese star Teruaki Sato, the 2025 Central League MVP who posted a Triple Crown‑level .991 OPS with 39 homers and 106 RBIs in 2026, is now officially posted by the Hanshin Tigers. All 30 MLB clubs have a 45‑day window to negotiate, but the posting deadline advances to Dec. 1 as the CBA expires. The Phillies, who scouted Sato in October and have a need at third base, weigh his left‑handed power against defensive concerns at the hot corner. A deal would give Philadelphia its first Japanese‑born player since 2008 and a potential boost to its lineup.
What free-agent options do Phillies have to upgrade backup catcher?
The Phillies face a dilemma after re‑signing J.T. Realmuto to a three‑year, $45 million deal, recognizing his defensive decline and the need for a more productive backup.

Potential targets include Twins’ Ryan Jeffers, who hit 14 homers with a .814 OPS in 2026; Cubs’ Carson Kelly, boasting a .713 OPS; veteran defensive specialist Austin Hedges, despite a .190 career average; and aging but experienced Christian Vázquez.

Here’s why things may only get better for Sixers
The Sixers start the season 6-1, thanks to depth beyond their stars. Tyrese Maxey and new addition Jaylen Brown anchor the offense, while Joel Embiid and LeBron James remain impact players when healthy. Backup guard VJ Edgecombe emerges as a clutch fifth starter, hitting game‑winning triples in back‑to‑back wins over the Hornets (109‑104) and Knicks (98‑93). Dean Wade provides defensive firepower, limiting OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson, and posted a career‑high 10 assists on Saturday. Anfernee Simons ignites the bench with 40 points on 13‑of‑23 shooting. Coach Nick Nurse and the roster’s depth suggest the Sixers can thrive even when stars sit.
