The Phillies have been busy the past week or so. They signed Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million deal. They signed Adolis García to a one-year $10 million deal. They have reached an agreement with Brad Keller on a two-year, $22 million deal. What’s next for the Phillies? Is J.T. Realmuto coming back? We also caught up with Phillies’ Rule 5 Draft pick Zach McCambley, who grew up in the Pocono Mountains and attended Phillies games as a kid. He’s thrilled for the opportunity to earn a spot on the Phillies’ Opening Day roster. Get your holiday gifts here! Phillies Show merchandise at ThePhilliesShowShop.com !

The Phillies on Monday agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with free-agent right fielder Adolis Garcia. He will be Nick Castellanos’ replacement in right field, which should not surprise anybody who has been watching and listening to the show since mid-October. We’ve been saying for weeks that Castellanos won’t be back. But what about Harrison Bader? Does this signal the end of his chances to rejoin the Phillies? We discuss Garcia, Bader, Castellanos and what’s been going on with the Mets and Braves in the NL East. Download Cash App Today: capl.onelink.me/vFut/hap8idx8 #CashAppPod.

Kyle Schwarber on Tuesday signed a five-year, $150 million contract with the Phillies. We discuss how it went down and why we like the deal. But we also discuss what’s next for the Phils. Is it J.T. Realmuto? Is it a reliever? Can they still go after Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette and Cody Bellinger? Get your holiday gifts here! Phillies Show merchandise at ThePhilliesShowShop.com !

We have a feeling about Kyle Schwarber. Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski does, too. He used the word “optimism” on Monday regarding the Phillies’ pursuit of Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto. Jim heard that Schwarber could make a decision before the end of the week. Todd heard that Schwarber thinks something with the Phillies will get done. We talk about Don Mattingly being the Phils’ new bench coach, Nick Castellanos getting traded and more.

Everything hinges on Kyle Schwarber. It can be said for the Phillies, and so many other teams at the Winter Meetings. Dribs and drabs of interest in Schwarber continue to make news, with Ken Rosenthal recently reporting that the Pirates have made a four-year offer for the slugging DH. But we still think Schwarber is headed back to Philadelphia. We explain why. But what if Schwarber leaves? We offer some creative ways the Phillies can make up for it. And does Jeff Kent’s induction into the Hall of Fame help Chase Utley’s chances? Get your holiday gifts here! Phillies Show merchandise at ThePhilliesShowShop.com !

The Winter Meetings are next week in Orlando, Fla., where magical things can happen. Ranger Suárez could have a magical winter, following Dylan Cease’s seven-year $210 million contract with the Blue Jays. Suárez is arguably the best starting pitcher remaining in free agency, unless Framber Valdez is more your speed. Kyle Schwarber and J.T Realmuto remain free agents. We discuss the latest, which included an unexpected scenario from Ruben – Schwarber and Realmuto to the Reds? He thinks it would make sense for the Reds. It would, but do they have the money to do it? This holiday, give your loved ones the only gift that keeps on giving — health.

If you thought the Phillies and Kyle Schwarber would sign a multiyear contract shortly after free agency started, think again. We still think Schwarber will re-sign with the Phillies, but right now his agency is trying to maximize his value -- as they should. That means drawn-out negotiations, and maybe even a little frustration on the Phillies’ end. It’s rally no surprise. Schwarber had a massive 2025, leading the NL in home runs and RBIs and finishing second for NL MVP. He needs to cash in on this deal. But again, we think the roads point to Schwarber’s return to Philly. We talk about recent moves the Mets and Braves have made in the NL East and more.

The Hot Stove is on a low simmer with Thanksgiving fast approaching. But there are interesting reports out there. How about the Pirates pursuing Kyle Schwarber? We’ll eat our shoes if that one happens, but it is worth discussing.

The GM Meetings wrapped up this week in Las Vegas. Dave Dombrowski spoke about the team’s outfield situation, including what’s happening in center field, Nick Castellanos’ future with the team and more. We thought the most interesting news was word that Twins star Byron Buxton might be willing to waive his no-trade clause, if Minnesota continues to sell this offseason. We’d love Buxton in the Phillies’ lineup. But if not Buxton, who? We discuss Justin Crawford, Harrison Bader and more.

The World Series ended on Saturday. Free agency started on Sunday. The Philadelphia Phillies said they want to bring back Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Ranger Suárez and Harrison Bader, although Schwarber and Realmuto are their top two priorities. But the Phillies need backup options if Schwarber and Realmuto sign elsewhere. They also need options if they trade somebody from their big league roster, like Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm or Brandon Marsh. We talk about: The weak market for catchers Pete Alonso Rhys Hoskins Gleyber Torres Alex Bregman Eugenio Suárez Munetaka Furakami Bo Bichette Rob Refsnyder Cody Bellinger Kyle Tucker Ramon Laureano Chris Bassitt Justin Verlander Zach Eflin Max Scherzer Robert Suarez Raisel Iglesias Ryan Helsley Devin Williams Tyler Rogers Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski tried to clear the air on Thursday, following last week’s interesting comments about Bryce Harper. Did he? Dombrowski shot down the ridiculous suggestion that the Philadelphia Phillies are thinking about trading Harper. They are not. But Harper’s agent Scott Boras might have had the most interesting things to say about this whole idea that Harper might not be an elite player anymore: If the Phillies want Harper to crush MLB pitching again, they need a legit power hitter to hit behind him in the lineup .

It could’ve been a 1993 World Series rematch between the Phillies and Blue Jays … Instead, it’s the Los Angeles Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani vs. the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. It leaves us thinking about the offseason and 2026. So, once again, we asked you for your Phillies questions. You got straight to the point asking if the Phillies can really afford to lose Ranger Suárez with questions surrounding Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Andrew Painter. We talk Pete Alonso.

If you watched the Dodgers pulverize the Brewers in the NLCS, you probably thought about the Phillies’ lost opportunities in the NLDS. A hit here or there and maybe the Philadelphia Phillies are preparing to play in the World Series. Does the Dodgers’ success make you feel any better about the Phillies’ chances in 2026? Or does it get you even angrier about what happened? We talk about the Phillies’ failed postseason run, and the trial balloon Jim floated last week: should the Phillies look to acquire more starting pitching in the offseason, even if they don’t take a run at Tarik Skubal?

Dave Dombrowski spoke for nearly an hour on Thursday morning at Citizens Bank Park. He hinted at change for the Philadelphia Phillies following their latest early exit in the postseason. But what does change look like? Big, bold changes? Maybe a few tweaks? It sure sounds like Dombrowski still believes in his core of talent. But there’s just no way that Dombrowski runs it back with the same group as this season. We tried to make sense of everything that Dombrowski said, including a challenge to Bryce Harper, a strong hint that Nick Castellanos isn’t coming back and more.

Sources confirmed on Monday that Rob Thomson will return as Phillies manager in 2026.

Everybody thinks the Phillies need to shake up the roster in a major way to win the World Series in 2026. But what does that mean exactly? Ruben, Jim and Todd ranked 15 Philadelphia Phillies from most likely to be back in 2026 to most likely to be gone. It’s a list that included José Alvarado, Harrison Bader, Alec Bohm, Nick Castellanos, Bryce Harper, Max Kepler, Orion Kerkering, Brandon Marsh, Aaron Nola, J.T. Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber, Bryson Stott, Ranger Suárez, Trea Turner and Taijuan Walker. Why those 15? Why not? It’s thought exercise!

It’s over. The Philadelphia Phillies lost the NLDS to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the most impossible way in Game 4 on Thursday at Dodger Stadium. Orion Kerkering got a ground ball back to the mound with the bases loaded and two outs in the 11th inning. He booted it. He panicked and he threw a ball over J.T. Realmuto’s head, when all he needed to do was throw the ball to first base to end the inning. Now, the Phillies must try to pick up the pieces. On a crushing series loss and what comes next.

The Phillies are alive. They beat the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NL Division Series on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium, 8-2. Kyle Schwarber crushed a game-tying homer in the fourth inning that landed beyond the bleachers in right field. Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez executed a pitching plan that worked to near perfection. Schwarber’s blast sparked a slumbering offense as Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto also homered later in the game. Don’t let the Phillies win Game 3 because they have Cristopher Sánchez on the mound in Game 4. Right? Presented by FOX One: Start your 7-day free trial today at FOXOne.com .

The Phillies are on life support. They lost Game 2 of the NL Division Series to the Dodgers on Monday night at Citizens Bank Park, 4-3.

Whatever happened to “four hours of hell?” The Phillies lost Game 1 of the 2025 NL Division Series to the Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park, 5-3. They took a 3-0 lead in the second inning against Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani. They had that lead with two outs in the sixth inning. But the offense fell silent after the second, and the bullpen couldn’t hold it. The Phillies have now lost four or their last five postseason games at the Bank. We talk about the offense, the bullpen, Harrison Bader’s injury and more. Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

The Phillies clinched a first-round bye on Wednesday night, and they did it in historic fashion. They smashed a franchise-record eight home runs in a victory over the Marlins. Edmundo Sosa hit three, becoming the first shortstop in Phillies history to homer three times in a game. Kyle Schwarber hit two, moving within two homers of tying Ryan Howard’s franchise-record 58 homers in a season. Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm and Otto Kemp also homered.

The Phillies have six games to play in the 2025 regular season. They already won the NL East. They almost certainly will clinch a first-round bye. So, what’s there to watch? Plenty.

The Phillies clinched the NL East on Monday. They will almost certainly clinch a first-round bye in the coming days, too. The Phils are thinking about the NLDS. They already shuffled their rotation so Cristopher Sánchez will start Tuesday against Miami and Sept. 28 in the regular-season finale against the Twins, which will allow him to start Game 1 of the NLDS on Oct. 4. Who follows Sánchez? How many pitchers should the Phillies carry in the NLDS? If they carry only 12, who’s the extra bench player?

The Phillies popped champagne bottles, sprayed beer and smoked cigars on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. They celebrated their second consecutive NL East championship, which they clinched following a 10-inning victory over the Dodgers. Kyle Schwarber homered. Bryce Harper homered. But so did role player Weston Wilson as the bottom of the lineup came up big. Jhoan Duran blew a save in the ninth, but another big midseason pickup, David Robertson, got the save in the 10th. It was a resilient team effort, which could bode well for the postseason. We talk about the celebration and what comes next for the Philadelphia Phillies.

What a week at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies swept the Mets in a four-game series, putting them in position to clinch their second consecutive NL East title as early as Sunday against the Royals. Jesús Luzardo allowed five hits to the first six batters he faced, putting the Phils in a 4-0 hole. But then Luzardo retired the next 22 batters he faced, while the offense came back. We talk Luzardo, the Phillies’ suddenly productive outfield, Walker Buehler’s debut on Friday night and more. Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

It ain’t over til it’s over, but it’s pretty darn close. Kyle Schwarber crushed his 50th homer of the season in Tuesday night’s victory over the Mets at Citizens Bank Park. The Philadelphia Phillies have a nine-game lead over the Mets in the NL East with 17 games to play. If the Phillies finish just 8-9, the Mets would need to finish 17-0 to pull into a first-place tie. Phillies fans remember 1964 (bad) and 2007 (good), but it’s hard to imagine something like that happening again in 2025. We discuss Schwarber’s milestone homer, brilliant starts this week from Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez, Bryson Stott’s improved play, Nick Castellanos’ clutch hits – and the mysterious Phillies player who broke wind during Nola’s postgame interview on Monday night.

Trea Turner has played so well this season that he could finish in the top five for NL MVP. So, it was alarming on Sunday in Miami, when Turner immediately removed himself from the game after running down the first-base line. Turner strained his right hamstring. He will have an MRI exam on Monday in Philadelphia. We’ll find out how much time Turner will miss. Who plays shortstop in the meantime? Who hits leadoff? We discuss.

A big day in Philly sports on Thursday. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Brewers, 2-0, in the series finale in Milwaukee. They won the series. The Eagles won their season opener, beating the Cowboys, 24-20. We asked you for your Phillies questions. You asked us about … The Phillies’ chances to win the World Series. What is our biggest concern about this team as the playoffs approach? What does the postseason rotation look like? Do concerns about Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola make the Phillies rethink Ranger Suárez’s future with the organization? Do the Phillies bring back Harrison Bader? Do the Phillies continue to roll with platoons in left field and right field and at second base? Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

Aaron Nola gave up five runs in the blink of an eye in Wednesday night’s loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee. He has a 6.78 ERA in 69 innings this season. It’s the sixth-highest ERA by any Philadelphia Phillies starter (minimum 65 innings) since earned runs became an official National League statistic in 1912. It’s not good. It’s especially concerning with Zack Wheeler missing the rest of the season, and the Phillies having no clear alternative to be a right-hander in the postseason rotation. We break down Nola’s struggles and more. Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

It was doom and gloom in Philadelphia on Thursday, following a three-game sweep to the Mets. But the Phillies just won three of four vs. Atlanta, while the Mets spit the bit against the Marlins. The Phillies head into Labor Day with a six-game lead over New York in the NL East. We discuss the Philadelphia Phillies big bounce back against the Braves, plus a few roster transactions that might have postseason-roster ramifications in Walker Buehler, Tim Mayza, Garrett Stubbs and more. We also explain why Nick Castellanos being subbed for defense in right field is a no-brainer, and why it wasn’t a sign of disrespect that Rob Thomson didn’t personally tell Castellanos that he was being removed for defense.

Emergency Schwarbcast! Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber tied a Major League Baseball record with four home runs in Thursday night’s victory over the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park. He set a Philadelphia Phillies franchise record with nine RBIs. It was a truly special, fun night at the ballpark.

What a brutal, brutal series for the Phillies. They carried momentum and a seven-game lead in the NL East into Citi Field this week. But the Mets swept the Phils to not only tighten the division race, but they raised questions about the Phils’ ability to beat New York in the postseason. Because these teams could meet again in October. We break down everything that happened in this three-game shellacking. Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait are gone, but Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller and Justin Crawford remain in Philadelphia's Minor League system.

It’s official: Zack Wheeler will miss the rest of the 2025 season. It wasn’t a surprise, so it was encouraging to see two solid performances this weekend from Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez in a series win against the Washington Nationals. Philadelphia will need its healthy starters to step up with Wheeler sidelined. Suárez is one of the best pitchers in baseball when he is on. Nola is perhaps the Phillies’ best option for a right-handed starter in the postseason. It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza !

Is Rob Thomson moving away from Nick Castellanos being his everyday right fielder? What role does Jordan Romano serve in the bullpen?

You won’t see many series better than this. The Phillies throttled the Mariners in every facet this week at Citizens Bank Park. They outscored them, 29-13. They outhit them, 48-21. Their starting pitchers struck out more batters (34) than any previous three-game series in franchise history. The pitching staff’s 46 strikeouts overall were the most in franchise history in a three-game series. We talk about the offense, including Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto and Max Kepler.

Everybody understands Zack Wheeler’s importance to the Phillies. He is one of the best pitchers in baseball, a perennial NL Cy Young candidate and, statistically, one of the best pitchers in postseason history. It was a shock on Saturday night to learn that Wheeler has been sidelined indefinitely because of a blood clot near his right shoulder. This is a health issue immensely more important than baseball, but it is a tremendous loss to the team. We discuss Wheeler’s health, and what it might mean for the Phillies moving forward. We also discuss Alec Bohm’s return to the lineup, Nick Castellanos’ big day and a bizarre “controversy” surrounding Jhoan Duran’s appearance in a non-save situation on Friday.

Everything was looking great for the Phillies on Monday. They swept the Rangers in Texas over the weekend. They won Monday in Cincinnati to take a six-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. But the Phillies have lost three in a row since then, including Thursday night’s loss to the Nationals in DC. What’s happening offensively? Is it time for more Max Kepler in right field? Nick Castellanos’ .493 OPS since the All-Star break is the third-worst in baseball. His -0.8 WAR is the worst. The Phillies are moving to a six-man rotation. We think it’s a great idea.

What a weekend for the Phillies. They swept the Rangers in Texas to take a 5 ½-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. Phillies manager Rob Thomson shook up the outfield alignment, sitting Nick Castellanos on Saturday night. A sign of things to come? Zack Wheeler pitched five innings on Sunday. His velo was down.

The Phillies lost Wednesday’s series finale to the Orioles, but they went 4-2 on their homestand. They have a 2 ½ game lead over the Mets in the NL East. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper are hitting homers. Jhoan Duran has been lights out in the ninth. Things are going well … but then Phillies manager Rob Thomson revealed on Wednesday that Zack Wheeler’s next start has been pushed from Friday to Sunday because of soreness in his right shoulder. How concerned should we be? We dig into The Durantula Experience at Citizens Bank Park with Phillies director of broadcasting and video services Mark DiNardo.

Jhoan Duran is a difference maker. He showed the Phillies and Phillies fans exactly how much this weekend. He tossed a four-pitch save in Friday night’s win over the Tigers. He tossed a 12-pitch save on Sunday night. He threw unhittable splinkers. He fired fastballs that touched 103.3 mph, making it the hardest pitch by any Phillies pitcher in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008). But probably ever, too. We talk about Duran’s impact on the Phillies, his fun entrance from the bullpen, the Phillies’ muddled outfield situation and more.

The Phillies landed one of the best closers in baseball on Wednesday, getting Twins closer Johan Duran. Everybody wondered what might happen next. A big bat like Eugenio Suárez? A top-of-the-lineup threat like Steven Kwan? They got Twins outfielder Harrison Bader on Thursday. Statistically, he immediately became the Phillies’ best outfielder. But is it enough? We’re not so sure. We discuss the Bader deal. We discuss the short-term futures for Justin Crawford and Max Kepler.

The Phillies finally got a closer. Dave Dombrowski’s never made a trade deadline deal like this with the Phillies. He shipped top 100 prospects Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait to the Twins for closer Jhoan Duran. It’s a big move. It sends a message. It immediately upgrades the bullpen and gives the Phillies their first big-time closer in years. We break down every angle of this trade. And, oh, what’s next?

The trade deadline is almost here, and we're still waiting for the Phillies to do something. They will. It remains the expectation anyway. We talk about the closers and bats on the market, including St. Louis’ Ryan Helsley and Arizona’s Eugenio Suárez. That’s two rentals for 2025. Sound good? No? How many prospects do the Phillies want to sacrifice to get them? We share our memories of Ryne Sandberg, who died on Monday. Ruben hired Sandberg as Phillies manager in 2013. Jim and Todd covered him. A truly nice man who will be missed. Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

Former Phillies general manager Ed Wade joins the show! Wade and Jimmy Rollins are being inducted onto the Phillies’ Wall of Fame next weekend.

Cristopher Sánchez put on a show on Tuesday night against the Red Sox, tossing the third complete game of his career, striking out 12, walking none and leading the Phillies to their first series victory since Fourth of July weekend. How good is Sánchez? Right now, he’d probably finish third for NL Cy Young. We talk about Sánchez’s dominance, Bryce Harper’s gutsy base running, first-round draft pick Gage Wood signing and Dave Dombrowski’s comments Monday about the trade deadline. Yes, we think the Phillies need a closer. But we also think the Phillies need a big-time bat. Eugenio Suárez anybody? Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

Title: One move down, how many more to come? David Robertson rejoins Phillies The Phillies are turning to an old friend to help their struggling bullpen. They have agreed to a prorated, $16 million contract with right-hander David Robertson. The deal allowed the Phillies to keep their prospects for other trades, like for a big-time closer and maybe even a right-handed bat. We discuss the Robertson deal, plus the need for a bat to protect Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, especially with Alec Bohm sidelined the next few weeks.

The Phillies need a legitimate, lockdown closer. They probably need one more reliever on top of that. They could use a bat, too.

The Phillies are enjoying the All-Star break, but they return to action on Friday night against the Angels. They’re a first-place team, but they’ve got issues. Then again, so do every team in baseball. We discuss our five key storylines for the Phillies in the second half. The Phillies need Bryce Harper and the offense to take a big step forward. The rotation has dominated in the first half. Can the starters stay healthy and keep it up? Who moves to the bullpen in September? Will the front office address the bullpen? How far will they go to do it? Will we see Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford in the second half? Is there any chance the Phillies sign Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto or Ranger Suárez to a contract extension before the end of the season. Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

The Phillies entered the All-Star break with a half-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. That’s good. They have an historically dominant starting rotation. That’s really good. But they also have an inconsistent offense and shaky bullpen that desperately needs help before the July 31 trade deadline. We look back at the good and bad from the Phillies’ first half.

San Francisco isn’t a great place for the Phillies. It has been a house of horrors for more than a decade. It continued this week at Oracle Park, where the Phillies lost the series opener on Monday (thanks to a Phil Cuzzi’s strike zone), and Tuesday, when they lost on a three-run, inside-the-park home run. We talk about everything that happened, including Wednesday’s series finale. Bryce Harper had a HUGE game. Is a big second half from Harper on the horizon?

If you had a ticket to Sunday’s series finale between the Phillies and Reds, you were lucky. You got to watch Zack Wheeler pitch his first complete game since 2021, and come one Austin Hays homer from a perfect game. Wheeler showed again why he not only is one of the best pitchers in baseball, but why he should start for the NL in next weeks’ All-Star Game in Atlanta and why he could be headed to Cooperstown, N.Y., one day. We talk Wheeler, Trea Turner not making the All-Star team, concerns about Ranger Suárez and Jesús Luzardo, Taijuan Walker rejoining the rotation and more!

The Phillies can make a strong argument to have multiple starting pitchers make the NL All-Star team. Zack Wheeler and Ranger Suárez are candidates for NL Pitcher of the Month for June. Wheeler is a NL Cy Young candidate, too. Cristopher Sánchez has dazzled. Jesús Luzardo has bounced back from two terrible starts. But rookie Mick Abel’s recent struggles continued in Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader. Does Abel make another start before the All-Star break? Or is it time to promote top prospect Andrew Painter, who is scheduled to start Thursday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley? Brandon Marsh has been playing well since he returned from the IL in early May. Does his performance change how the Phils view the July 31 trade deadline? Plus, who are the Phillies’ NL All-Stars? Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

The Phillies salvaged a six-game road trip by winning two of three this weekend in Atlanta. They scored 13 runs on Friday, but only three runs the rest of the weekend. What can save this Phillies’ offense? It should help to get Bryce Harper back in the lineup. He could return as early as Monday night’s series opener against the Padres. But really this team is going to live and die with what they already have: Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, etc. And maybe Otto Kemp. And maybe Justin Crawford. The external options to improve this lineup don’t seem to be there, unless you think Jarren Duran, Taylor Ward, Cedric Mullins, Luis Robert Jr., Adolis Garcia are difference makers. Ranger Suárez is on another ridiculous run. What contract might he get in free agency? Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.

This is the biggest fear for Phillies fans. It’s October and the Phillies’ rotation dominates its opponent in the NL Wild Card Series or NL Division Series. But the offense can’t string hits together and the Phils take another early October exit, forcing difficult decisions to be made in the offseason. It could happen again. It certainly happened this week in Houston. The Phillies allowed only five runs in the three-game series, but the offense scored only one. It’s just the 10th time since 1901 that a team allowed five or fewer runs in a series and got swept. Is it time to make a change? Is it time for Justin Crawford?

We asked you for your Phillies questions and you delivered once again. We got a TON of questions about the July 31 trade deadline, but we also got plenty about the Phillies’ impending free agents and more. Those questions included Ranger Suárez, who allowed one run in seven-plus innings in Tuesday night’s 1-0 loss in Houston. We start with Ranger, but we get into Dave Dombrowski’s wish list. Is a closer in the Phillies’ future? If so, who? We also discuss potential bats to help the Phillies in the outfield. Jim tells us how he spanks his tomatoes, too.

The Phillies open a three-game series on Tuesday night in Houston. We break down an awesome pitching matching between Ranger Suárez and Framber Valdez. Then we talk to Phillies assistant general manager of amateur scouting Brian Barber. Barber joined the organization following the 2019 season, making this his sixth draft with the Phillies. His first-round picks include Mick Abel (2020), Andrew Painter (2021), Justin Crawford (2022), Aidan Miller (2023) and Dante Nori (2024). Painter, Crawford and Miller are all top 100 prospects.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson made a sound baseball decision on Monday night, when he replaced Nick Castellanos for defensive purposes in the eighth inning in Miami. Thomson wanted to improve his outfield defense with the Phillies holding a 3-1 lead. But Castellanos didn’t like it. In fact, he said something “inappropriate” to Thomson in the dugout. It was bad enough that Castellanos was benched on Tuesday night, snapping MLB’s second-longest active streak of games started. Castellanos still doesn’t seem happy about it. What’s the deal? Could this become a problem? Is Orion Kerkering the Phillies’ new closer?

This past week should have reminded everybody that baseball is a long season. The Phillies followed a gruesome 1-9 stretch – a lot of people thought they were dead -- with a 5-1 homestand against the Cubs and Blue Jays. The offense came to life against two playoff-caliber teams. Brandon Marsh (1.167 OPS), Alec Bohm (1.128 OPS), Otto Kemp (.898 OPS), J.T. Realmuto (.980 OPS), Max Kepler (1.300 OPS), Trea Turner (.820 OPS), Nick Castellanos (.808 OPS) and Kyle Schwarber (.869 OPS) each had big moments against the Cubs and Blue Jays. So did the rotation, led by Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo. First Pitch is powered by betPARX Sportsbook and Casino app. It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza !

Never a doubt. Phillies left-hander Jesús Luzardo bounced back in a major way in Wednesday’s victory over the Cubs. His previous two starts? Nightmare fuel. But before he suffered serious struggles against the Brewers and Blue Jays, Luzardo looked to not only be a strong NL All-Star candidate, but a serious NL Cy Young candidate. We had a great conversation with Luzardo just before those two starts. Wisely, we waited to post it until he rebounded. You will learn a lot about Luzardo in this fun episode … from being born in Peru to how he throws his splitter to his relationship with Caleb Cotham and J.T. Realmuto to beating Andrew Painter in pickleball and more! First Pitch is powered by betPARX Sportsbook and Casino app. They say Delco’s a lot … and they’re right.

The Phillies needed to do something to get their struggling offense going. So, Rob Thomson on Tuesday finally made a change to the lineup. He moved Trea Turner into the leadoff spot. He moved Bryson Stott into the five-hole. Why five? Well, because Bryce Harper is injured, and the rest of the lineup might be struggling even more than Stott. The Phillies need almost perfect pitching to win these days. They didn’t get it in Tuesday night’s 8-4 loss to the Cubs, which included Mick Abel’s first stumble in the big leagues, and Taijuan Walker’s first stumble in his first high-leverage situation as a reliever.

Every team has bad stretches over the course of a 162-game season, but it has been six years since the Phillies have struggled like this. They have lost 9 out of 10 following Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Pirates in Pittsburgh. It’s the first time they have lost 9 out of 10 since June 12-23, 2019. They have been swept in consecutive weekends. They have scored only one run in four of their last five games. The offense is struggling … big time. The bullpen is shaky. The defense is shaky. Every Phillies flaw has been exposed. So, now what? Do the Phillies call a team meeting? Promote a prospect? Make a lineup change? We discuss. Plus, how concerned should everybody be about Bryce Harper’s wrist? And just for fun … what would it take for the Phillies to trade for Paul Skenes? It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza !

Jesús Luzardo looked not only like an NL All-Star a week ago, but he looked like a NL Cy Young candidate. So, what’s happened since then? Well, Luzardo has allowed 20 runs in just 5 2/3 innings in his last two starts. Historically, the Phillies haven’t had a pitcher do that in consecutive starts in almost 100 years. What the heck is happening? Even he doesn’t know, but he knows he’s got to fix it soon. We talk Luzardo, Taijuan Walker, Mick Abel … and the Phillies’ struggling offense.

Bryce Harper is back in the Phillies’ lineup, after getting hit by a pitch on his right elbow last week. He homered in his first at-bat in the Phils’ victory in Toronto. Trea Turner homered twice, too. He’s been one of baseball’s best hitters since mid-April. We answer your questions – everything from contract extensions for Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto to prospects the Phillies might trade before July 31. We talk beer. We talk … Eddie Waitkus.

The Phillies had a chance to sweep the Braves last week before losing Game 2 of Thursday’s doubleheader. Still, the Phillies had momentum entering this weekend’s series against the Brewers. But Milwaukee pummeled the Phillies, sweeping them at Citizens Bank Park for the first time since 2014. Almost everything went wrong. Sure, the Phils were without Bryce Harper, who is recovering from a HBP on his right elbow. But the pitching was bad at times, while the defense was arguably worse. We get into the bad and the ugly, plus a shakeup to the pitching staff. Get 20% off your first Slab Pack or card purchase by going to ArenaClub.com/FOUL and use code FOUL.

The Phillies open a three-game series on Friday night against the Brewers, so we thought it’d be a great time to catch up with Rhys Hoskins.

Braves right-hander Spencer Strider drilled Bryce Harper on the right elbow with a 95-mph fastball on Tuesday. Harper got lucky. X-rays were negative. He suffered only a bruise. But it’s the third time in the last four games that Harper has been hit by a pitch. Phillies fans want vengeance. But will they get it? Does it have to happen before Atlanta leaves town on Thursday? When’s the right time to do it? We also talk about Ranger Suárez’s solid effort in Tuesday’s 2-0 victory, and dissect some good and bad base running from the past few days.

The Phillies snapped a nine-game winning streak on Sunday, but they woke up on Memorial Day with the best record in baseball (34-19) and a two-game lead over the Mets in the National League East. Since they lost to the Cubs at Wrigley Field on April 25, they are an eye-popping 21-6 (.778). Memorial Day is a traditional checkpoint of the 162-game season. You can no longer say it’s early. So, where do the Phillies stand on Memorial Day? Who’s their MVP to this point? Who’s their best pitcher? What about the biggest surprise, biggest disappointment and biggest concern?

What a Sunday at Citizens Bank Park. Major League Baseball announced before the game that Phillies left-hander José Alvarado was suspended 80 games for using a performance-enhancing substance. He will be ineligible for the postseason. It’s a major blow to a bullpen that has leaned heavily on Alvarado, who has been its best pitcher this season. What are the short-term and long-term answers for the Phils? Mick Abel made his MLB debut on Sunday. He outdueled Paul Skenes in a 1-0 victory. A look at Abel’s historic day.

He is a long-time coach and manager in the big leagues and minor leagues, including stints with the Orioles, Padres and Phillies. He first joined the Phillies in 2019, then returned before the 2022 season. Dickerson is smart, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and tough. It’s what makes him a great coach.

It looked like Aaron Nola’s early-season struggles were been behind him. After starting the season 0-5 with a 6.45 ERA, he had a 3.33 ERA in his last four starts. But in Game 2 of a doubleheader against St. Louis on Wednesday night, Nola suffered the worst start of his career. He allowed a career-high 12 hits, a career-high nine runs and tied a career-high three home runs allowed in a 14-7 loss. How concerned should we be about Nola? Why did Rob Thomson have Nola start the fourth inning after he allowed five runs in the third? The Phillies won Game 1, 2-1, behind two excellent performances from right-handers Jordan Romano and Orion Kerkering.

The Phillies have won five consecutive series following Sunday night’s 3-0 victory over Cleveland. They are 11-3 since they lost their series opener in Chicago late last month. It’s the best record in baseball in that span. Kyle Schwarber is a big reason why. He hit two homers Sunday against the Guardians. He has hit 14 homers this season, which is tied with Aaron Judge for the most in baseball. He has a 46-game on-base streak. The Phillies are not only hitting, but they’re pitching well and playing good defense. It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza !

The Phillies beat the Rays in Tuesday night’s series opener in Tampa, 8-4. We talk about Zack Wheeler’s fastball in another dominant performance, but we dig into three hot Phillies hitters, too. Everybody knows Kyle Schwarber is swinging a hot bat. He hit his fifth homer in seven games on Tuesday. Everybody knows Trea Turner is swinging a hot bat. He’s batting .391 in his last 15 games. But how about Alec Bohm? He hit his first homer of the season on Tuesday. He is batting .327 with three doubles, one homer, six RBIs and an .832 OPS in 14 games since April 19.

The Phillies won two of three from Arizona this weekend at Citizens Bank Park. They have three consecutive series since getting swept in New York late last month. The offense is heating up. It is batting .276 with 13 home runs and an .806 OPS in the last eight games. But physical and mental errors keep popping up, and you wonder what might have happened in Sunday’s series finale if the Phillies played cleaner in the field.

The Phillies are 17-14 following Thursday night’s loss to the Nationals. If the season ended today, they’d be tied with Arizona for the third and final NL Wild Card. We talk about where the Phils are, and where they might be going in the coming months. Where is Taijuan Walker going? He’s probably going to the bullpen, even though he has pitched well in his first six starts. That’s because Ranger Suárez is rejoining the rotation on Sunday. We discuss how the Phillies should handle Suárez and Walker, and who might get bumped from the bullpen to make room for Walker. They say Delco’s a lot … and they’re right.

Where do we even start? The Phillies won an absolutely crazy game on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. They won on their first walk-off wild pitch since April 1993. A Phillies pitcher struck out the side after loading the bases with no outs in the eighth inning or later for the first time since 1968. There were big hits and big mistakes in the field. We get into everything. We talk a little Sluggball , too.

The Phillies bounced back in a major way this weekend against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Now, can they build off it? The Phils lost on Friday, giving them a five-game losing streak and dropping them to .500. But they won the final two games of the series to head home at 15-13. The offense came up big on Saturday, scoring 10 runs. Aaron Nola came up big on Sunday, allowing only one run in seven innings.

MLB Network’s Mark DeRosa is one of baseball’s best analysts. His insights weekdays on “ MLB Central ” are must-see TV. DeRosa played college football and baseball at Penn, then spent 16 years in the big leagues. Those experiences brought him to MLB Network, then to twice manage Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, including next year. DeRosa spent time on Thursday with Ruben, Jim and Todd, discussing the Phillies’ slow start and why he isn’t necessarily worried about it. He also talks about trying to recruit Zack Wheeler and Bryce Harper to play for Team USA in next year’s WBC and much more. DeRosa’s enthusiasm for baseball is contagious. You’ll love this episode.

It’s still early, but the Phillies can’t play like this forever. They need to get going. The Mets swept the Phillies this week at Citi Field. The Phils have lost 10 of their last 16 games. There are plenty of reasons why. The bullpen continues to struggle. There are cracks in the rotation with Aaron Nola 0-5 and Cristopher Sánchez’s left forearm hurting. The offense had just three extra-base hits in the entire series. We drill down on everything that is going wrong for the Phillies right now.

Cristopher Sánchez became a trendy pick in the spring for a top five NL Cy Young Award finish. He pitched like one in Thursday’s 6-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out 12 batters, the most by a Phillies left-hander since Cole Hamels struck out 13 in his no-hitter against the Cubs in his final start for the organization in 2015. We discuss Sánchez’s dominance but also look at the Phillies’ jumbled outfield situation, the upcoming Marlins series and more, including a few of your questions!

In case you missed it, Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh have been going through a terrible start to the 2025 season. But both had important at-bats in Tuesday night’s 6-4 victory over the Giants. Marsh’s sacrifice fly in the second inning gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Bohm’s base hit in the sixth inning gave the Phillies the lead. Afterward, Harper had some philosophical thoughts about players struggling in the big leagues: “I just want [Bohm] to enjoy the game. Life could be a lot harder. Life can be a lot tougher. We get to play this beautiful game every day. I was standing in the on-deck circle in the third inning and I was thinking about it, 'Man, it’s a great game we get to play.' Obviously, you’re going to get your ups and downs in life and in the season. It’s a hard thing to do. It is. But at the end of the day, we’re all healthy, we’re all strong. Just go out there and enjoy it because it’ll go quick and you’ll start thinking to yourself, 'Why did I take it so serious? And it’s gone now.'” Schedule your PXG golf club fitting today at PXG.com/foul to save up to 20% on your entire order. Restrictions apply, see site for details.

Everybody was riding high a week ago, then the Phillies went 2-4 in Atlanta and St. Louis. It ended with a 7-0 loss on Sunday in St. Louis. A lot of things didn’t go right for the Phillies on the road. Mostly, the offense lacked punch. One of the culprits was Brandon Marsh. He’s hitless in his last 26 at-bats.

Alec Bohm hit a rocket to Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies in his first at-bat on Thursday night in Atlanta. Albies caught it. Bohm flipped his bat. Bohm went 0 for 5 in the Phillies’ 4-2 loss in 11 innings at Truist Park. He is batting .160 with no home runs, three RBIs and a .356 OPS in his first 11 games. He is struggling. It shows. He has looked frustrated on the field. He twice declined to speak to reporters before the game. We get into Bohm’s struggles, and some of the overreaction to it. We also talk about the state of the bullpen, including an encouraging bounce back from Jordan Romano. This week’s episode is brought to you by Citizens !

Edmundo Sosa made the catch of his life in the first inning on Tuesday night in Atlanta, but a huge mistake in left-center field involving both Sosa and center fielder Johan Rojas cost the Phillies the game. Ruben coached big league outfielders in Boston and New York. He breaks down everything that went wrong when they let a ball fall just feet in front of them, leading to a three-run homer from Sean Murphy. Should Sosa keep playing in left field against left-handed pitching? We’ve got thoughts. This week’s episode is brought to you by Citizens !

Title: Beat L.A.: Phillies win series against “unbeatable” Dodgers Somebody asked J.T. Realmuto on Friday about playing the Dodgers and he joked that he heard they were “unbeatable.” Well, the Phillies handed L.A. its first two losses of the season in a series win at Citizens Bank Park. Does it mean anything in the long run? No, but it showed skeptics that the Phillies can not only hang with anybody, but they can beat anybody. We talk about the series against the Dodgers, including Sunday’s 8-7 comeback victory. We talk about the good things like Nick Castellanos’ grand slam, José Alvarado’s latest dominant effort and more. But we also talk about a big concern in Jordan Romano.

The Phillies are 5-1 after Taijuan Walker pitched six scoreless innings on Thursday against the Rockies. It was a great day for Walker, whose mother cried tears of joy from the stands at Citizens Bank Park. It hasn’t been an easy year for Walker, who has been booed in Clearwater, Washington and Philadelphia in just the past couple weeks. Walker was more than just a good baseball story on Thursday. He was a great human story. We preview this weekend’s series against the Dodgers, and talk Money Moves. Specifically, torpedo bats! We caught up with Victus Sports founder and CEO Jared Smith, whose bat manufacturing business is in King of Prussia. He hand-delivered bats to Phillies players just an hour before Monday’s home opener. This week’s episode is brought to you by Citizens !

The Phillies play their final Grapefruit League game on Monday in Clearwater. Afterward, they’re flying to Philadelphia. Opening Day is Thursday in DC. The roster is almost entirely set. Ranger Suárez is expected to open the season on the IL, moving Taijuan Walker into the rotation. The Phils claimed right-hander Carlos Hernández off waivers from Kansas City. He’ll take the last job in the bullpen as Tyler Phillips got DFA’d. The last spot on the team is between Kody Clemens and Buddy Kennedy.

Now we know why Phillies manager Rob Thomson hasn’t announced his rotation beyond Opening Day starter Zack Wheeler. Ranger Suárez has a sore back again. We will know more in the next 24 to 48 hours, but there’s a chance he might not be ready to start the season. If Suárez can’t make his first turn (or more) in the rotation, who’s next in line?

Trea Turner is probably going to be the Phillies’ leadoff hitter on Opening Day. He came to camp trying to make better decisions at the plate, and trying to hit the ball to the opposite field more. He hasn’t seen many positive results so far, although Thursday he homered, walked and had a sacrifice fly. We talk about Turner’s spring and comments hitting coach Kevin Long recently made about Turner’s performance in Florida. Would Bryce Harper really move to the outfield this season, if the Phillies can acquire a power-hitting first baseman? He says yes.

The Phillies have had a pretty quiet camp in Clearwater, Fla., but they’ve just had their first hiccup. All-Star lefty Matt Strahm is experiencing a left shoulder issue, which could force him to open the season in the injured list. Strahm had an MRI exam, which revealed no structural damage, but an impingement has caused inflammation. He is not going to throw until Thursday at the earliest.

How much stock should you put into a player’s performance in spring training? It depends. A player like Max Kepler, who is new and perhaps looking to impress after making swing changes? Maybe a lot. A player like Trea Turner, who is a perennial All-Star? Not so much. We talk about those players and others, plus we get into the Phillies’ Opening Day lineup and Jimmy Rollins being back in uniform as a guest instructor. - 3:15 Reactions and overreactions on Max Kepler, Trea Turner, Aaron Nola, José Alvarado and Ranger Suárez - 22:30 Is this the Phillies’ Opening Day lineup - 25:50 Jimmy Rollins is back in Phillies camp.

Breathe, everybody. Bryce Harper got hit on the right arm Wednesday by a 92 mph fastball, but he’s OK. He’s supposed to play Friday against the Red Sox in Clearwater. We talk about that scare, but then dig into some interesting happenings this week in Florida. How about Kyle Schwarber playing first base? How about José Alvarado throwing 100.7 mph in his first Grapefruit League outing? How about a great spring debut from Phillies ace Zack Wheeler? And how about these Phillies lineups?

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola has been one of baseball’s best, more durable pitchers for nearly a decade. From 2017-24, he ranks first in baseball in innings pitched (1,432 2/3); second in strikeouts (1,590); and third in baseball in wins (92) and WAR (34.0). He’s helped the Phillies make the postseason each of the past three seasons. Nola joined the show from Clearwater, Fla., to talk about the things that have made him successful – his curveball and preparation, for starters – plus, how he fulfilled a lifelong dream of having his own baseball spikes and his charity poker tournament on May 15 at Citizens Bank Park that will benefit veterans.

It’s been months since Ruben, Jim and Todd sat together in the same place to record an episode of The Phillies Show. But the stars aligned Sunday in Clearwater, and the three chatted next to the half-field about Sunday’s Grapefruit League home opener against the Orioles at BayCare Ballpark. It included a monstrous blast from Phillies prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr., whose two-run homer scored Justin Crawford, a top Phillies prospect who had two consecutive good days at the plate. They dug into the Phillies’ suddenly wide open bench battle, following Weston Wilson’s injured oblique, and more!

Has any pitcher in baseball been better than Zack Wheeler the past five seasons? If you look at the numbers, Wheeler is No. 1. And it’s not even close. Wheeler leads baseball with 25.4 bWAR and 24.7 fWAR from 2020-24. He is second in wins (59), second in innings pitched (829 1/3) and WHIP (1.03). He is third in ERA (2.94). He has a career 2.18 postseason ERA, which is the fourth-best (minimum 10 starts). But what makes Wheeler tick? We learned a little more about Wheeler’s preparation, his demeanor on the mound and more in a recent conversation at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Florida. Love The Phillies Show?

Realmuto, Alec Bohm, Nick Castellanos, Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Andrew Painter, John Middleton, Dave Dombrowski and Rob Thomson are just a few Phillies’ personnel who have talked in the past few days.

The Eagles pulverized the Chiefs on Sunday in perhaps the greatest performance by a Philadelphia team to ever win a championship. We had a blast watching the Eagles on Sunday, but we’re just as excited for Spring Training to begin this week in Clearwater, Fla. Phillies pitchers and catchers will have their first official workout on Wednesday at Carpenter Complex. Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss the things they’re most interested in seeing this spring. It ranges from Alec Bohm’s mindset to Ranger Suárez’s conditioning and health to top prospects like Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller and Justin Crawford. They finish the show by opening up a few packs of Topps Chrome 2024. Unfortunately, the Paul Skenes 1/1 rookie has been found, so none of us struck it rich. But we had fun anyway.

J.T. Realmuto is set to make his seventh consecutive Opening Day start at catcher for the Phillies. It would tie Darren Daulton for the second-longest streak by any catcher in Phillies history. Mike Lieberthal started a record 10 in a row. Will there be an eighth for Realmuto? He will be a free agent following the 2025 season. Realmuto joined the show this week to talk his present and future in Philadelphia; the team’s chances to win a World Series; how much he thinks he can play in 2025; what makes Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez tick and more!

Phillies manager Rob Thomson visited the show last week, and he said he will tinker with the Phils’ lineup throughout the spring. Thomson discussed moving Kyle Schwarber down in the lineup to protect Bryce Harper, and he mentioned Trea Turner as the best candidate to hit leadoff in Schwarber’s place. Ruben, Jim and Todd dig into the possibilities, and if the lineup really matters. We get into more of Thomson’s comments from last week, and break down a Phillies Show-related Jeopardy! question from a few weeks ago.

Former Phillies closer Billy Wagner learned on Tuesday night that he has been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. It was a long time coming.

The Eagles will host the NFC Championship on Sunday in Philly, while many people think the Dodgers are headed to the 2025 World Series following a remarkable offseason, which included the recent signings of Japanese star Roki Sasaki and closer Tanner Scott. We talk football because hey, why not? But we also dig into the Dodgers, Sasaki, Scott and more. Is it good or bad for baseball? Is it bad for the Phillies? The Phillies dipped their toe into the Japanese market on Friday, signing right-hander Koyo Aoyagi to a minor league contract with an invite to Spring Training. He could be a swingman in 2025. The Phillies hope Aoyagi brings short-term and long-term benefits to the organization. Lastly, we share out favorite Bob Uecker stories, who passed away last week at age 90.

In less than a month, Phillies fans will see Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez back on the mound, throwing bullpen sessions at Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Fla. The first pitchers and catchers workout is Feb. 12. Fans will see Andrew Painter for the first time in a long time, too. They will see newcomers like Jesús Luzardo, Jordan Romano and Joe Ross. Nobody knows more about these pitchers than Phillies pitching coach Caleb Cotham, who enters his fifth year with the organization. Cotham visited The Phillies Show this week and talked about the Phillies’ rotation, which could be the best in baseball; how the bullpen will manage without Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estévez; why Wheeler might be baseball’s best pitcher, Painter’s timeline to the big leagues and more!

Everybody is in a good mood today following the Eagles’ victory over Green Bay. New Phillies left fielder Max Kepler was upbeat last week when he talked about his upcoming season. The Phils signed Kepler to a one-year, $10 million contract in December. He will be their everyday left fielder. If Kepler is healthy, the Phils should see a boost in left. If not, it could be a problem. We reacted to Kepler’s comments about his health, joining a new team and more. We also reacted to Jeff Hoffman’s three-year, $33 million contract with the Blue Jays. Hoffman revamped his career in Philly, but it was clear he wasn’t returning with the Phillies focused on players on one-year contracts. Could the Phils sign another reliever before Opening Day?

The Phillies might have the best rotation in baseball in 2025, if newly acquired left-hander Jesús Luzardo is healthy following an injury-plagued 2024. Luzardo spoke with Phillies reporters on Monday. He discussed his injured back and why he thinks it is a thing of the past. Big, if true. But if Luzardo (or any other Phillies starter) isn’t healthy, the Phillies should be better protected after signing Joe Ross to a one-year, $4 million deal. He provides starting pitching depth, although he is expected to open the season in the bullpen. How does the Phillies’ bullpen look now? What does it mean for Taijuan Walker and others?

Everybody was waiting for the Phillies to do morethis winter. Well, they did. On Thursday night, news broke that the Phillies signed Max Kepler to a one-year, $10 million contract. Dave Dombrowski said Friday that the Phillies were finished making “impactful” free agent signings, sending Phillies fans into a tizzy. But Dombrowski hinted at the pursuit of a No. 5 starter, too. On Sunday morning, news broke that the Phils traded prospects Staryln Caba and Emaarion Boyd to Miami for left-hander Jesús Luzardo and minor league catcher Paul McIntosh. What do we think about the Kepler and Luzardo moves? Is this it? Or might Dombrowski have something else up his sleeve? Love The Phillies Show?

The Phillies signed right-hander Jordan Romano to a one-year, $8.5 million contract on Monday at the Winter Meetings in Dallas. But they still need to find an outfielder and more to upgrade a team that wants to win the World Series. We’re back from the Winter Meetings in Dallas, and we spent Friday talking about Dave Dombrowski’s comments on the final day of the meetings on Wednesday, when he said it wasn’t the right time to trade a package of top prospects for Garrett Crochet, who was traded to the Red Sox. We also discuss Bryce Harper’s chances at a contract extension, following Scott Boras’ comments on Wednesday, and the Phillies’ chances to trade Alec Bohm.

The Phillies never took a run at Juan Soto, but on Monday they finally made a move. They signed former All-Star closer Jordan Romano to a one-year, $8.5 million contract. The fellas talk about the signing and what it means for the bullpen. But is this it for the bullpen? What about the outfield and rotation?

We think the Phillies are going to make a trade or two before spring training. But while we wait for them to strike, we asked you for your Phillies trade ideas before next week's Winter Meetings in Dallas. We got a bunch! You made offers for Garrett Crochet, Kyle Tucker, Devin Williams, Ryan Helsley, Sandy Alcántara and more! We discussed them, then explained why the Phillies would or would not make those trades. Ruben then picked his favorite trade proposal, and that person won a Phillies Show t-shirt! Shibe Vintage Sports is giving away a FREE Mitchell & Ness Phillies hoodie to The Phillies Show listeners.

Barring a miracle, Juan Soto isn’t signing with the Phillies. He has received multiple $600 million offers, according to Fair Territory’s Ken Rosenthal. Soto could make a decision before the end of next week’s Winter Meetings in Dallas. We said on this show last week that the Phillies had not met with Soto. We even wondered if an offer would be made. It turns out, the Phillies have not made an offer. None of this should come as a surprise. The Phillies were never considered serious suitors for Soto, despite speculation. Still, we talk about Soto’s situation and what comes next for the Phillies. Shibe Vintage Sports is giving away a FREE Mitchell & Ness Phillies hoodie to The Phillies Show listeners.

It’s Thanksgiving Week, which means the holidays are here. Is there any chance that Juan Soto signs with the Phillies? They have not met yet with Soto, but there are expectations they will. There is a report that the Phils have not communicated with Scott Boras, who is Soto’s agent. We hear otherwise. Regardless, the Phillies’ chances at signing Soto remains a longshot. Ruben, Jim and Todd get into the holiday spirit by talking about what they’re thankful for in the game of baseball.

Luke Murton is the Phillies’ new player development director, following Preston Mattingly’s recent promotion to GM. Murton spent the past two years as the Minor League’s hitting development director, but he also split his team scouting amateur players that he thought would be good to bring into the system. One of those players was top prospect Aidan Miller. Murton talks about his journey from Georgia Teach to Yankees minor leaguer to scout with the Giants and Padres to Phils’ farm director.

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler finished second for NL Cy Young for the second time in the four years. This year, he finished behind Atlanta’s Chris Sale. We discuss the vote, but also dig into an interesting story by MLB.com’s Mike Petriello, who suggests Wheeler is on a Hall of Fame track anyway. He needs a few more dominant years to put him into serious contention, but there is a strong argument to be made. We also discuss Friday night’s non-tender deadline. Is Austin Hays non-tendered? There’s some Juan Soto and Roki Sasaki talk and 40-man roster stuff, too! The holidays are here. Need a gift for the Phillies fan in your life?

John Middleton said Friday at Penn that “we’ll probably not win” the Juan Soto sweepstakes. It’s not a surprise, but it was as candid as anybody had been in talking about the Phillies’ chances to sign the superstar outfielder. So, the Phillies don’t expect to sign Soto. Do they have any chance at signing Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki? His team announced they will post him for MLB teams, but everybody considers West Coast teams like the Dodgers, Giants and Padres to have a huge advantage over the Phils, who have not signed a Japanese player direct from Japan in their history. The guys also talk about the Phillies’ front office shake up and more. Get 10 FREE meals at HelloFresh.com/FREEFT .

Dave Dombrowski keeps saying the Phillies are “open minded” this offseason. He said it last month following the Phillies’ early exit in the NLDS. He said it a few more times this week at the GM Meetings in San Antonio. “We need to be more open minded about possible moves.” Ruben, Jim and Todd think Dombrowski is telling everybody that he is going to make a trade. Or two.

Do the Phillies have any chance at signing free-agent superstar Juan Soto? Dave Dombrowski said last month that he doesn’t think the Phillies need more star players. John Middleton said last week that it’s “hard to go much crazier with the payroll.” The Yankees and Mets are the heavy favorites to land Soto because they have the most money to spend. Ruben, Jim and Todd lay out the reasons why Soto won’t sign with the Phillies. But they also come up with scenarios in which they could surprise people.

Happy Halloween! Ruben, Jim and Todd enjoyed Tuesday’s interview with Phillies assistant general manager of player development Preston Mattingly, so they couldn’t help but dig into a few more thoughts about the Phillies’ farm system, including how fast Aidan Miller could move through the system. They also expressed their appreciation for Bryce Harper’s postseason success in relation to Aaron Judge’s struggles, considering how few pitches Harper sees in the strike zone in the postseason. Todd shows everybody a picture of his Halloween costume from 1982. It’s baseball-themed, of course. @Shibe Vintage Sports Get unique throwback Phillies tees, hats and sweatshirts from local artists at their shops in Center City, Wayne and West Chester and online. @The Phillies Show Subscribe to the show on YouTube and follow us on social media! @Foul Territory We’re part of the Foul Territory Network.

The Phillies want to keep their World Series-championship window open as long as possible. For that to happen, they will need contributions from prospects in their farm system. Nobody is better equipped to talk about those prospects than Phillies assistant general manager of player development Preston Mattingly. Mattingly joined The Phillies Show and discussed the state of the Phillies’ system, the organization’s philosophies on hitting and starting pitching and – of course – top prospects like Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller, Justin Crawford, Mick Abel, Griff McGarry, Eduardo Tait, Staryln Caba and more.

Dave Dombrowski hinted at a potential trade or two for the Phillies this offseason. Sometimes those deals happen fast. Think Brad Lidge in Nov. 2007 and Billy Wagner in Nov. 2003. Think Andy Ashby in Nov. 1999 and Jeremy Hellickson in Nov. 2015. Ruben, Jim and Todd talked about the circumstances surrounding those deals, what it takes to make them and more, including their remembrances of the great Fernando Valenzuela, Andrew Painter’s latest start in the Arizona Fall League and their World Series predictions. @Shibe Vintage Sports Get unique throwback Phillies tees, hats and sweatshirts from local artists at their shops in Center City, Wayne and West Chester and online.

Specifically, getting their hitters to improve their approach at the plate. But adjustments could come to the roster via trades. Dombrowski hinted at that.

The Phillies’ season of enormous World Series-or-bust expectations ended on Wednesday night in New York with a 4-1 loss to the Mets in Game 4 of the NL Division Series. “Just feel like you failed,” Trea Turner said. “I think we had a fun season, we made some good memories and whatnot, but when it comes to winning a World Series, it feels like kind of a failure.” It was a crushing loss, but perhaps not a surprising one. The Phillies were baseball’s best team through early June, but played .500 the rest of the way. Something needs to be done to get this team over the hump. But what? Ruben, Jim and Todd talk about what went wrong and what needs to happen in the offseason. @Shibe Vintage Sports Get unique throwback Phillies tees, hats and sweatshirts from local artists at their shops in Center City, Wayne and West Chester and online.

It’s not that the Phillies couldn’t have come back to win the NLDS had they lost Game 2 on Sunday night. It’s that the odds would have been heavily against them. But after they continued to chase pitches out of the strike zone at an alarming rate through five innings in Game 2, Bryce Harper settled everybody’s nerves when he crushed a two-run homer into the batter’s eye in center field to cut the Mets’ lead to 3-2. Nick Castellanos, who got booed and Bronx cheered in the fourth, followed with a game-tying solo homer. Harper and Castellanos continued from there. They led the Phillies to a dramatic 7-6 walk-off victory, which Castellanos ended with a single to left. Bryson Stott came through with a huge hit. Cristopher Sánchez pitched well. We also talk about Rob Thomson’s decision to bench Alec Bohm in Game 2, and if Edmundo Sosa might start at second base against a tough lefty in Game 3.

Oh, boy. Phillies ace Zack Wheeler had another start that further established himself as one of the best postseason pitchers in baseball history, but it’s difficult to win when the offense can’t string together a couple hits in a row. That’s exactly what happened in the Phillies’ 6-2 loss to the Mets in Game 1 of the 2024 National League Division Series at Citizens Bank Park. Wheeler allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings, but the Phillies managed just one hit between Kyle Schwarber’s leadoff homer and the eighth inning. And by that time the Phillies two most trusted relievers (Jeff Hoffman and Matt Strahm) turned a 1-0 lead into a 5-1 deficit. Ruben, Jim and Todd break down a thoroughly disappointing Game 1, and discuss what needs to happen to even the series in Game 2.

Buckle up, everybody. The Phillies and Mets have played in the NL East for 63 years. They’ve only finished with winning records in the same season in 10 times. They’ve never played each other in the postseason … until now. The Phillies and Mets will play each other in the NL Division Series, beginning on Saturday afternoon with Game 1 at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies finished the regular season with the second-best record in baseball. But the Mets had the second-best record in baseball since these teams met in London in June. The Mets are playing well, they’ve got mojo on their side … and that has Phillies fans a little nervous. We break down this series, and give our predictions.

One of the reasons Phillies fans have connected with this team is music. Callum Scott’s “Dancing On My Own” has been the city’s postseason anthem each of the past two years. But this year Phillies catcher Garrett Stubbs wanted to something different. So he contact the Armentani Brothers, DJs from Northeast Philly who created a nearly hour-long mix that has been playing inside the Phillies clubhouse following wins since the beginning of the season. Everybody finally learned about the Armentani Brothers’ involved when the Phillies clinched the NL East. They talked about being involved in the Phillies, and the journey they took to get to this point! Love The Phillies Show? You can purchase your very own Phillies Show t-shirt by 47 Brand here !

The Phillies won their first National League East title in 13 years on Monday night, so we got together early Tuesday morning to talk about it. What did we see in the clubhouse postgame? What did we think about Aaron Nola’s performance? He’s been around longer than anybody, so nobody can appreciate winning a division title more than him. We discuss Rob Thomson, the family atmosphere that has made this team so close, short-term plans to win a first-round bye and more.

The Phillies had such a good opportunity to clinch the NL East at some point on their just complete seven-game road trip through Milwaukee and New York. They didn’t. They went 2-5 on the trip, including three of four losses to the Mets at Citi Field. These types of trips happen, but the Phillies could face the Brewers and Mets in the postseason. As concerning as that might, it’s also concerning that the Phillies struck out 81 times on the road trip, four shy of their most strikeouts in a seven-game span in franchise history. The Phillies can clinch the division as early as Monday night. We dig into the offense, Zack Wheeler’s brilliance and more.

The Phillies only need to win one more game to make the postseason. They only need to win two more games to win the NL East. It’s going to happen. But the Phillies fell into a first-place tie with the Dodgers for the best record in the National League, following Thursday night’s loss to the Mets at Citi Field. Taijuan Walker allowed eight runs in 3 1/3 innings. He is 3-7 with a 6.91 ERA, which is the fifth-highest ERA for any Phillies pitcher since 1901 (minimum 80 innings pitched). The Phillies are 4-11 when Walker starts. It isn’t just Walker, however. The Phillies’ No. 5 starter has been a problem since Spencer Turnbull got hurt in June. The Phillies’ No. 5 starters have a combined 14.14 ERA in their last eight starts. They are 2-6 in those games. Those losses could be the difference between having home-field advantage through the NLCS and playing Games 6 and 7 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium, if both teams get that far. Jim and Todd also talk about the Phillies’ offense. It’s struck out 44 times in the past three games.

Zack Wheeler pitched like the NL Cy Young in Tuesday night’s victory over the Brewers. The Phillies can clinch a postseason berth with a win Wednesday night in Milwaukee. They can clinch their first NL East title since 2011 as early as Thursday in New York. Has Wheeler closed the gap on Braves left-hander Chris Sale, who is perceived as the front runner? We answered your questions, too! What are the chances of Juan Soto signing with the Phillies? Should the Phillies carry 12 of 13 pitchers in the postseason? If they carry an extra-bench bat, who should it be? Should the Phillies be concerned about Ranger Suárez heading into the postseason? It’s National Cheeseburger Day, so we talked local burgers, too.

The Phillies had a huge week at home. They swept the Rays, then won two of three against the Mets, who were the hottest team in baseball. The Phils seem to be peaking at the right time. And everybody is contributing, too. Cristopher Sánchez continues to pitch incredibly well, especially at home. Should he be the Phillies’ No. 2 starter in the NLDS, NLCS and World Series, should they get that far and should they have home-field advantage? Reserves Kody Clemens, Cal Stevenson, Buddy Kennedy, Weston Wilson and Aramis Garcia each had big moments during the homestand. Oh, can’t forget that Bryce Harper homered twice on Saturday night, snapping the second-longest homerless drought of his career.

It’s wild, but the Phillies and Mets haven’t played a truly meaningful series in September since 2008. But it’s finally happening again this weekend at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies are trying to clinch their first NL East title since 2011, which could happen next week. The Mets are trying to make the postseason, following a brutal start. These teams will meet again for a four-game series next weekend at Citi Field. Both series could be a preview of a potential matchup in the NLDS or NLCS. It should be fun. Ruben, Jim and Todd break down the Phillies-Mets series, recall their favorite moments from the Phils’ historic comeback in 2007 and more.

The Phillies don’t need anything to make them closer as a group, but they bonded again in Tuesday night’s victory over the Rays. Nick Castellanos got hit by a pitch intentionally in the eighth inning. He got upset. Bryce Harper got upset, too. Benches and bullpens cleared. Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss what led to that moment, plus Kyle Schwarber’s recording-setting night and concerns about Ranger Suárez’s four starts since returning from the injured list.

Kyle Schwarber has provided Phillies fans many memorable moments since he signed a four-year contract in March 2022. It was a fantastic coincidence then that he joined “The Phillies Show” during a road trip through Toronto and Miami. Schwarber hit three home runs in a big comeback win on Tuesday against the Blue Jays. He hit a leadoff homer in Wednesday’s victory against the Blue Jays, tying Alfonso Soriano for the most leadoff homers in a season in MLB history with 13. Schwarber offered insight about his personal successes and failures as a player, what makes this Phillies team so close, why the team’s midseason struggles could help them in the postseason and how growing up in a household of first responders shaped him as a person. He also discussed his important work with Schwarber’s Neighborhood Heroes, which is the foundation he and his wife Paige started in 2017. Its mission is to create “positive experiences, and funding wellness, education and crisis needs for police, fire and military families.” You can donate and learn more about Schwarber’s Neighborhood Heroes here: https://schwarbersneighborhoodheroes.org Love The Phillies Show?

Title: Schwarbombs, Schwarbombs, Schwarbombs Kyle Schwarber had a heck of a series in Toronto, hitting three home runs on Tuesday night, including a no-doubt-about-it, game winner in the ninth, and another leadoff homer on Wednesday. Schwarber is must-see TV when he is feeling good at the plate. Bryce Harper hasn’t been feeling great for a few weeks, but he continues to play through elbow and wrist issues. More than a few fans want Rob Thomson to rest Harper, but Harper said it isn’t necessary. Ruben, Jim and Todd are around Harper quite a bit. They offer their take on Harper’s willingness to play through pain. Should he or shouldn’t he? The guys also discuss Seth Johnson’s MLB debut on Sunday. The Phillies got him in the Gregory Soto trade. They finish with some talk about Ranger Suárez’s start Thursday in Miami. He pitched well, but his velocity was down. Any reason to be concern? And what about Suárez’s long-term future with the team?

The Phillies haven’t clinched anything yet, but after winning three of four against the Braves this weekend at Citizens Bank Park they are primed to win their first NL East title since 2011. Nick Castellanos led the way with clutch hitting, including a pair of 0-2 hits in Sunday night’s 3-2 victory in 11 innings. Castellanos hit a game-tying double in the sixth inning and a walk-off single in the 11th. But it wasn’t just Castellanos this weekend against the Braves. The Phillies got great starting pitching and incredible work from the bullpen, including two perfect innings Sunday night from closer Carlos Estévez. We also discuss Bryce Harper’s wrist and elbow issues, and how much it has affected his power at the plate. Go to Orgain.com/FOUL to receive 20% off your order. Real Nutrition for Real Life!

The Phillies might’ve won their most important game of the season on Thursday night. They looked dead in the water through five innings against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park, but then Brandon Marsh hit a three-run home run to left field in the sixth to get them within one, and Nick Castellanos hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh to win it. It extended the Phillies’ lead over Atlanta in the NL East with 28 games to play. Lots of good things happening lately, including Castellanos and Marsh. But the fellas also dig into the bad. Taijuan Walker has been moved to the bullpen. Why wasn’t he DFA’d? What will his role be moving forward? Is there any chance he’s in Clearwater next spring?

The Phillies got to Kansas City this weekend in desperate need for a good series, and for some good at-bats. They got both. They won the series against the Royals. They scored 11 runs on both Saturday and Sunday. It was their first time scoring 10 or more runs in consecutive games since Aug. 6-7, 2022. It was very encouraging to see players like J.T. Realmuto, Bryson Stott, Brandon Marsh and Garrett Stubbs have big weekends. But it wasn’t just the offense. The Phillies got some good pitching from Ranger Suárez, who rejoined the rotation, and No. 6 starter Kolby Allard, who threw the ball well on Sunday. Conversely, are the Phillies reaching the end with Taijuan Walker? His next turn into the rotation is uncertain.

The Phillies lost two of three this week in Atlanta, which wouldn’t be such a big deal, except it is a continuation of mediocre play since the All-Star break. Only one team has a worse record in baseball than the Phils since the break: the Chicago White Sox. The offense’s continued struggles are concerning. Everybody is swinging and missing too much as teams continue to throw them breaking balls and offspeed pitches outside the strike zone. Is there a fix for this? Do the Phillies need to make some lineup and personnel changes? Clearly, something needs to happen as the Phillies open a three-game series on Friday night in Kansas City.

You knew Whit Merrifield would have a hit or two in Tuesday night’s series opener against the Phillies at Truist Park. The Phillies released Merrifield on July 12. They were on a 106-win pace at the time. They are 12-20 since. Coincidence? Almost certainly yes. It wasn’t just Merrifield who beat the Phillies on Tuesday. The top three Phillies hitters went 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts. The Braves retired the final 17 batters they faced. José Alvarado walked four in less than an inning. Not a good way to start another difficult stretch. Ruben, Jim and Todd also answer your questions: everything from Bryce Harper’s health to Scott Kingery to The Phillies Show scented candles to unwritten rules for beat writers. Jim reveals his biggest no-no of them all: no shorts on a plane.

The Phillies had a team meeting last week before a game against the Marlins. They are 4-1 since. Is the worst finally behind them? The Phillies will find out this week, when they open a six-game road trip in Atlanta. There were plenty of good signs from the Phillies, including big weeks from Trea Turner and the rotation. But the weekend could have been better. Following fun Alumni Weekend celebrations, including the late great David Montgomery being inducted onto the Wall of Fame, the Phillies lost Sunday’s series finale against the Nationals. The Phillies had the tying run at the plate with no outs in the ninth, but Phillies manager Rob Thomson declined to use either Bryce Harper or J.T. Realmuto. Cal Stevenson grounded into a double play and Garrett Stubbs grounded out to end the game. Ruben, Jim and Todd have some thoughts on it.

The Phillies held a team meeting before Wednesday night’s game against the Marlins. Kyle Schwarber hit a huge grand slam in the fourth inning to give the Phils a one-run lead, leading to a badly needed victory. Thursday night, Weston Wilson hit for the 10th cycle in Phillies history in a blowout win over Washington. Maybe team meetings really do help. Time will tell. Jim and Todd discuss Wilson’s historic night, the impact of team meetings, Trea Turner’s encouraging performance Thursday and the late great David Montgomery, who will be inducted onto the team’s Wall of Fame this weekend.

The Phillies returned from a three-city, 10-game road trip to open a six-game homestand against the lowly Marlins and Nationals. They opened the homestand on Tuesday with a massive thud against Miami. Things are really bad for the Phillies right now. Things must change. But what?

Just last week, the Phillies won their first series is almost a month when they beat the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Things seemed to be turning around, but then the Phillies traveled to Arizona to play the team that won Games 6 and 7 of the 2023 NLCS at Citizens Bank Park, shattering the Phillies’ World Series title aspirations. It felt like Oct. 2023 all over again. The Phillies lost three of four in Arizona. The Saturday and Sunday games weren’t even competitive. The Phils are 24-30 since they won the first game in the London Series on June 8. Is it finally time to be concerned?

The Phillies did not see Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts in L.A. this week because of an injury, but they might see him in October in the postseason. Ruben Amaro Jr. coached Betts when they were with the Boston Red Sox. Betts joined The Phillies Show to talk about his experiences with Amaro, playing in Philadelphia, his podcast’s most recent guest in Aaron Nola, who’s next on his Phillies’ wish list for a guest and more.

Zack Wheeler pitched a gem and the bats came alive as the struggling Phillies ended a six-game losing skid Sunday in Seattle. Things get no easier as the Phils move on to LA for three with the Dodgers beginning Monday night. The Phils swept the Dodgers last month in Philly but are just 5-13 since. The Phils need to win the series to maintain the best record in the NL over the Dodgers. Listen in as we look back at Bryce Harper’s three-hit game Sunday and ponder whether the Phillies are indeed getting their mojo back. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Phillies didn’t get a superstar player before Tuesday’s trade deadline, but did any team? No, not really. But the Phillies believe they addressed their areas of weakness. Less than an hour before the deadline, the Phils acquired White Sox left-hander Tanner Banks for infield prospect William Bergolla. Banks will replace left-hander Gregory Soto, who was traded to the Orioles for Double-A right-hander Seth Johnson and High-A righty Moisés Chace. The trades capped a bullpen reconstruction that featured two significant additions and two significant subtractions over the past five days. Saturday, the Phillies got closer Carlos Estévez from the Angels for pitching prospects George Klassen and Samuel Aldegheri. Friday, they got Orioles outfielder Austin Hays on Friday for right-hander Seranthony Domínguez and outfielder Cristian Pache. In: Estévez and Banks Out: Soto and Domínguez Ruben, Jim and Todd break down the trades, then dig into some of the things that haven’t been going well for the Phillies lately ... which is almost everything.

The Philadelphia Phillies needed a right-handed bat before the July 2011 trade deadline, so Ruben Amaro Jr. picked up Hunter Pence from the Houston Astros. Pence became an immediate fan favorite. While Phillies fans wait to see if Dave Dombrowski, Sam Fuld and Co. will make another move before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline, take a stroll down memory lane with Pence, who put up huge numbers for the Phillies on their way to a franchise-record 102 games in 2011. Pence remembers the good times, the agony of losing to the Cardinals in the NLDS and being traded to the Giants in July 2012. In between, though, there are plenty of laughs, and a nice little surprise that illustrates just how popular Pence became in such a short period of time in Philadelphia. Love The Phillies Show?

The Phillies made another trade over the weekend, acquiring Angels closer Carlos Estévez for a couple pitching prospects. It seems to be a perfect fit for the Phillies, who have been looking for more stability in the late innings. But is this it? Are the Phillies really finished making moves before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline? Ruben and Jim aren’t convinced, with Jim hearing that the Phillies continue to monitor the starting pitching market. Bryce Harper was asked Sunday how he feels about the Phillies as they are constructed heading into the final two months of the season, if Estévez and Austin Hays are the only two acquisitions president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski makes before the trade deadline. The Phillies have lost 8 of 12 and have played .500 for the past several weeks. “Yeah, the superstars got to show up,” Harper said.

The Phillies have been looking for a right-handed-hitting outfielder for months. They got their man on Friday, when they acquired Austin Hays from the Orioles for Seranthony Domínguez and Cristian Pache. First reactions following the deal? Well, the Phillies didn’t give up a single prospect, meaning they still have plenty of quality players to deal to get a big bullpen arm. By trading Domínguez, the Phillies opened the door to acquiring more than one bullpen arm for the stretch drive. By acquiring Hays, Brandon Marsh could see more time in center field with Johan Rojas. Ruben, Jim and Todd break down the Hays deal, and what might be coming next for Dave Dombrowski and the rest of the Phillies’ front office before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline.

Every baseball fan growing up in the Delaware Valley dreams of playing for the Philadelphia Phillies one day. Tyler Phillips’ dreams came true. The South Jersey native and Bishop Eustace graduate grew up a diehard Phillies fan. He joined the organization in July 2021 and worked his way into a big league promotion earlier this month. How has Phillips done? Well, he struck out seven batters in relief in his debut against the Braves on July 7. He is 2-0 as a starter. He has struck out 15 and walked one in 16 innings overall. It’s been a wildly fun absolutely surreal experience. Phillips spoke about his long journey to the big leagues, what it means to him and his family to be pitching for his hometown team and much more, including signing autographs for kids and maybe one day asking Bryce Harper for an autograph for his own collection. A fun, thoughtful conversation with the Phillies’ rookie right-hander. Love The Phillies Show? You can purchase your very own Phillies Show t-shirt by 47 Brand here !

The Phillies opened the second half of their season with a 2-4 road trip through Pittsburgh and Minnesota. It should have been 4-2, but the bullpen blew a couple late-inning leads. The Phillies already had been looking for a late-inning reliever before the July 30 trade deadline, but the pen’s recent struggles only reinforced the idea that they must find somebody, not only to help them in the regular season, but in the postseason, too. How far do the Phillies go? A half-season rental, which will be more affordable? Or a big fish who will carry a steep price? Ruben shares his experiences acquiring Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Hunter Pence in consecutive trade deadlines from 2009-11.

There are eight days remaining before the July 30 trade deadline, and the Phillies have needs One of them popped up on Friday, when José Alvarado blew a save in Pittsburgh. Alvarado hasn’t been as sharp as seasons past, perhaps reinforcing the front office’s belief that it needs to fortify the bullpen with another late-inning veteran reliever. The Phillies need a right-handed-hitting outfielder, too. Weston Wilson has played well since he replaced Whit Merrifield. Could he actually step up and fill that role, or must the Phillies find somebody else? Fortunately for the Phillies, Tyler Phillips has stepped up as the team’s No. 5 starter. The local kid shut down Pittsburgh in Sunday’s series finale, snapping the Phillies’ three-game losing streak to avoid a sweep. There are a few things that have impressed Ruben, Jim and Todd’s about the rookie’s early performances. They discussed. The Phillies open a three-game series on Monday night in Minnesota. Ranger Suárez and Zack Wheeler are back. What do we hope to see from both of them? Plus, some late-inning food talk including walleye-on-a-stick and Juicy Lucys.

The Phillies won a franchise-record 62 games before the All-Star break. They sent a franchise-record eight players to the All-Star Game. There’s 11 days until the July 30 trade deadline. There’s less than 11 weeks before the postseason. Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss a few storylines to follow for the Phillies in the second half: Zack Wheeler and Ranger Suárez returning to dominance following recent back issues. Just keeping everything healthy and effective entering the postseason. Who do the Phillies get before the July 30 trade deadline? It would be great to see Bryson Stott, Seranthony Domínguez and others pick it up in the second half. Can Bryce Harper win a third NL MVP? Can Zack Wheeler win his first NL Cy Young? Can Trea Turner win the Phillies’ first NL batting title since 1958?

The Phillies finished the first half with a stinker on Sunday against the A’s, but with a franchise-record 62 wins at the All-Star break. It couldn’t have gone much better. Ruben, Jim and Todd spend the first day of the All-Star break looking back at the Phillies’ historic first half. They dig into the special performance from the rotation, but they can’t help but express concerns about its health. They name the Phillies’ first half MVP and Cy Young. No surprises there. They discuss first-half disappointments, too. But no matter how hard they tried to focus on the first half, they couldn’t help but think about the future, especially after watching A’s slugger Brent Rooker and A’s closer Mason Miller impress this weekend at Citizens Bank Park. What would it take to get one of them? What would it take to get both? More Phillies trade talk to come before the July 30 trade deadline.

The Phillies entered the week believing they are the best team in baseball. Their sweep of the Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park only reaffirmed those beliefs. “We don’t care who’s coming,” Johan Rojas said. “We don’t care who we are playing. We’re just going to beat them.” So many good things happened this week against L.A. Trea Turner continued to swing a hot bat, drawing comparisons to Jimmy Rollins’ 2007 NL MVP season. Phillies pitchers held Shohei Ohtani to three singles, striking him out in a few big spots. Cristopher Sánchez rebounded in a big way on Wednesday. Rojas made a fantastic catch in left-center field on Thursday night. Ruben, Jim and Todd dig into it all. They start the show by talking about a shocking confession Ruben made on the 94 WIP Morning Show on Thursday. Did he really call into WIP using a fake voice?

Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber were back in the Phillies’ lineup for Tuesday night’s 10-1 victory over the Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park. The lineup looked like a completely different animal with them in the No. 1 and 3 spots, respectively. But then Zack Wheeler left the game after the fifth inning because of left lower back tightness. Is there any reason to be concerned? Should he make his next start on Sunday against the A’s? Should the Phillies start somebody else and bring him back after the All-Star break? The guys dig into Wheeler’s situation. They also talk about Harper’s return, what happens with the No. 2 catcher once J.T. Realmuto returns and much more.

The Phillies lost two of three this weekend in Atlanta, but they still have an eight-game lead in the NL East. Also, help is on the way. Kyle Schwarber will be activated from the injured list before Tuesday night’s series opener against the Dodgers. There is a chance Bryce Harper is activated, too. If not Tuesday, then perhaps before the end of the series. Ruben, Jim and Todd talk about getting Schwarber and Harper back before the break. The Phillies have a franchise-record seven players going to the All-Star Game in Texas: Harper, Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Jeff Hoffman and Matt Strahm. There were some emotional reactions in the clubhouse when Rob Thomson announced those names. Which selections jumped out to the guys? J.T. Realmuto comes back after the All-Star break. Who goes to Triple-A? Garrett Stubbs or Rafael Marchán? Michael Mercado struggled Sunday. Who starts Saturday: Mercado or Tyler Phillips, the local kid who dazzled in his debut on Sunday?

The Phillies lost Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber to injuries late last week. They won two of their first three games without them. They won Friday following a brilliant pitching performance from Cristopher Sánchez. They won Sunday, overcoming a five-error afternoon to enjoy their biggest comeback victory of the year. They'll have to win any way then can until Harper and Schwarber return, possibly before the All-Star break. Ruben, Jim and Todd talk about life without Harper, Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto for the next few weeks. They dig into the Phillies’ All-Star candidates, then answer questions from The Phillies Show listeners: What top prospects would they consider untouchable before the July 30 trade deadline? What is going to happen to Whit Merrifield? What is their best Harry Kalas story? What’s on the grill for the Fourth of July?

The Phillies reached the halfway point of their season on Thursday night with the best record in baseball. They are on pace to win a franchise-record 106 games. But here come the injuries. Before Thursday's game, the Phillies placed Spencer Turnbull on the 15-day injured list with a strained right lat. He is expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Michael Mercado is expected to take his place in the short term. Then late in Thursday's game, Kyle Schwarber left with tightness in his left groin, while Bryce Harper hobbled up the first-base line with a left hamstring injury. How will the Phillies handle the potential losses of Harper and Schwarber, if either or both land on the IL? Will we see Buddy Kennedy, Johan Rojas, Weston Wilson or Darick Hall? Who hits leadoff if Schwarber misses time? Who hits third if Harper goes on the IL? How concerned should the Phillies be about the starting pitching depth?

The Phillies just signed left-hander Cristopher Sánchez to a four-year contract extension with two club options that could keep him in the Phils rotation through 2030. Ruben and Todd talk about Sánchez’s journey, from struggling big leaguer to bona fide stud in arguably Major League Baseball’s best rotation. Of course, once one deal is done, it’s natural to think about the next. Could an extension be coming for Ranger Suárez? Could the Phillies really sign another starter to a multiyear extension after signing Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Sánchez to multiyear deals? Ruben said locking up Ranger is a no-brainer. The guys also discuss the Phillies’ No. 5 starter situation with Taijuan Walker on the injured list and Spencer Turnbull taking his place. What happens if Turnbull picks up where he left off, while Walker gets healthy and starts throwing an effective splitter again? Decisions, decisions.

The Phillies don't win the 2008 World Series without Cole Hamels. He went 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five postseason starts, winning World Series MVP and NLCS MVP honors in the process. He lived up to the hype as the 17th overall pick in the 2002 Draft, giving the Phillies a homegrown ace they desperately needed for years. Is Hamels one of the greatest Phillies ever? Absolutely. The old-school stats say so, but so do the new ones. Hamels ranks 11th all-time in WAR by a Phillies player, according to Baseball Reference, just behind Jimmy Rollins and Bobby Abreu, and just ahead of Chuck Klein and Curt Schilling. Hamels shared his favorite Phillies memories with Ruben, Jim and Todd before his June 21, 2024, retirement ceremony at Citizens Bank Park. He talked about getting drafted by the Phillies, the franchise's glorious run from 2007-11, drilling Bryce Harper with a pitch in 2012, throwing a no-hitter in his final Phillies start in 2015, and so much more.

The Phillies are finally home after a grueling 20-game stretch in which they played 14 on the road, including two in London, three in San Francisco, three in Colorado and six in the AL East. The Phillies lost two of three over the weekend in Baltimore, which culminated in Rob Thomson getting ejected in Sunday’s series finale. It was the angriest anybody has ever seen the typically mild-mannered Canadian, who astutely picks and chooses his spots to send messages to his players. This seemed like one of those moments. The Phillies will play 10 of their next 13 games at Citizens Ban Park, and fans are likely to see a different lineup. First, Trea Turner is expected to be activated before Monday's series opener against the Padres. Signs point to Johan Rojas getting optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Is it the right time to option Rojas? How do the Phillies handle center field? How do they handle left? If Rojas is optioned, does it increase the likelihood that Dave Dombrowski finds an outfielder before the July 30 trade deadline?

The Phillies returned from London and dropped two of three to the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Now, they have an even bigger test: a three-game series this weekend against the Orioles in Baltimore. The Phils are just 9-8 since May 23. Any reason to worry? The offense has cooled, but help is on the way. Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh could both be back before the end of the weekend. Does Marsh move to center field upon his return? If so, what happens to Johan Rojas? The guys answer some listener questions, including who would win a hot dog eating contest. Jim also takes a stroll down memory lane, recalling the time in Baltimore that legendary Phillies coach John Vukovich wanted to kill the Oriole Bird.

J.T. Realmuto will miss at least four weeks following meniscus surgery on June 12 in Philadelphia. What does it mean for the Phillies? Can Garrett Stubbs and Rafael Marchan handle the load while he is away? Do the Phillies plan to acquire a catcher before the July 30 trade deadline? The guys offer their perspective following the loss of one of their most valuable players on the 26-man roster.

The Phillies are back from the 2024 London Series, and almost everybody there seemed to enjoy themselves. We look back at some of the weekend’s most memorable moments, including Bryce Harper’s big Saturday night, appearances from several 2008 Phillies and the Phillie Phanatic’s hijinks. Rob Thomson said he wouldn’t mind going to London every year to play. But the Phillies are back in the U.S., ready to open a three-game series against the Red Sox in Boston. Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss the team’s recent outfield production, and how Nick Castellanos’ recent play -- .958 OPS last 10 games, and a .797 OPS last 30 games -- and Whit Merrifield’s productive weekend in London could solve that issue internally. Trea Turner could be back within the week. Brandon Marsh could be back soon, too. Do the Phillies play Edmundo Sosa a little in left field when Turner is back? It could provide another boos to the Phillies’ outfield. Maybe then the Phillies don’t need an outfielder before the July 30 trade deadline. Maybe then they use their trade capital elsewhere.

Bryce Harper is having a MVP-caliber season as the Phillies have raced to the best record in Major League Baseball. He joined The Phillies Show before the team's trip to Europe to play the New York Mets in the 2024 London Series at London Stadium. Harper discussed a wide range of topics in a fun and insightful interview: - The Phillies' remarkable start and what he expects this summer and fall at Citizens Bank Park. - How much winning a World Series with the Phillies would mean to him. - The hilarious London Series promo he shot with Phillies legend Chase Utley and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creator and star Rob McElhenney. - A few surprises for fans in London, including a cool look for the Under Armour Harper 9 cleats, which debut in England. - His love for the Phillie Phanatic. - How he once used an autographed Pete Rose bat to play for Team USA in Venezuela. - Harper's love for baseball as a kid, and the incredible drills he and his dad did. - His advice to parents who want to help their children play baseball.

The Phillies open a three-game series on Monday night against the Brewers at Citizens Bank Park, which means Rhys Hoskins will be back at the Bank for the first time since his Phillies career officially ended last fall. Ruben, Jim and Todd share their favorite stories and memories about Hoskins, who not only was a productive bat in the middle of the Phillies lineup or years, but a leader in the clubhouse and in the community. The Phillies might have lost Brandon Marsh to the injured list on Sunday night, when he strained his right hamstring. What are the options to replace Marsh in left field? Whit Merrifield, Kody Clemens and Cristian Pache immediately come to mind. Rob Thomson has hinted at Edmundo Sosa possibly seeing time in the outfield once Trea Turner returns. What about options they might have in Triple-A? Ranger Suárez dodged a bullet on Saturday, when a ball struck him in his right hand. He might pitch Saturday in London. He might not. If not, who does? We go back to Spencer Turnbull being one of the baseball’s best baseball offseason signings. Follow The Phillies Show on X, Instagram, TikTok, Threads and Facebook.

The Phillies left for a West Coast road trip with the best record in baseball. They returned with the best record in baseball, despite going 2-4 in Colorado and San Francisco. But some of the team's blemishes bubbled up on the trip, including the lack of offensive production from the outfield and Taijuan Walker's struggles in the rotation. It led to discussion about the July 30 trade deadline, and how these potential issues could be addressed by Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies front office. Ruben, Jim and Todd also answer some listener questions, and recap their personal highlights from their recent interview with Chase Utley. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chase Utley is the greatest second baseman in Phillies history, a 2008 World Series champion, a sure-fire Phillies Wall of Famer and a potential Hall of Famer. He was in Philadelphia recently to promote the 2024 London Series between the Phillies and Mets on June 8-9 at London Stadium. While Utley was in town, he spent some time with The Phillies Show. They talked about the London Series, Utley’s life in Europe and more than a few stories from his playing career: - The infamous Yasiel Puig story from Utley’s Los Angeles Dodgers days. - The crazy places Utley has heard “World F------ Champions!” - The genius of Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. - Utley’s recollections about Ruben trading him to the Dodgers. - How Utley’s famously intense game prep helped not only himself, but his teammates. - Plus, much more. Utley goes deeper on the stories you think you already knew, while telling stories nobody’s ever heard before. Love The Phillies Show?

If you're watching the Phillies, then you know they're off to their best start in franchise history, and the best start in baseball since the 2001 Mariners. Ruben, Jim and Todd try to wrap their minds around the Phillies' historic start, discussing what has jumped out to them and why they believe the players in the clubhouse will maintain their focus and continue to play with an edge the rest of the season. There is plenty of praise for Edmundo Sosa, who has thrived at shortstop while Trea Turner has been on the IL. Ruben also explains what he meant he said he would rub his entire body on Ranger Suárez for good luck, while Jim offers a peek at what will be on his grill this Memorial Day weekend.

The Phillies swept the Nationals over the weekend, and Kody Clemens led the way. He hit a game-tying home run with two outs in the ninth inning on Saturday. He hit a go-ahead double in the fifth inning on Sunday. Ruben, Jim and Todd talk about Clemens' massive contributions, and what the future might hold for him. The Phillies are 34-14, tying the `93 and `76 Phils for the best 48-game start in club history. Only four teams in MLB have started 34-14 or better this century: 2023 Rays (34-14), 2016 Cubs (34-14), 2006 Tigers (34-14) and 2001 Mariners (36-12). Jim loves Rob Thomson's message to his players to keep the motivated. The gang also digs into Bryson Stott's turnaround; how the Phillies could make the case for four NL All-Star infielders with Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm, Trea Turner and Stott; Cristopher Sanchez's development, which had him touching 98 mph in the sixth inning on Saturday; and this week's matchup against the World Series-champion Texas Rangers.

The Phillies crushed the Marlins on Friday and Saturday. It set up for another series sweep on Sunday, especially with Zack Wheeler on the mound. But Wheeler struggled and just like that the Phillies lost the series finale in 10 innings. It happens. The gang discusses Wheeler's start, but also digs into something a little more concerning: Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto are dinged up. Neither injury is believed to be serious, but health (or a lack thereof) might be the only thing that can derail the Phillies right now. They also get into Nick Castellanos' and Bryson Stott's recent hot streaks and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Phillies snapped an 11-game winning streak at Citizens Bank Park with a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday, but they still have the best record in baseball. They have it, even though Bryce Harper hasn't been on one of his trademark hot stretches yet. But Harper might be heating up. A recent conversation he had with Trea Turner might've gotten him going. The gang talks about Harper's recent at-bats, plus Bryson Stott's move to shortstop, Spencer Turnbull's role in the bullpen and the team's upcoming trip to Miami.

The Phillies have the best record in baseball. It is their best start since 1995. Everything is going smoothly. Right? Well, they learned Saturday that Trea Turner will miss at least six weeks with a strained left hamstring. How well are the Phillies positioned to handle Turner's loss? Taijuan Walker is back in the rotation. Walker's return has bumped Spencer Turnbull to the bullpen, but even Walker said Turnbull will be back at some point. Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss a "problem" that most teams would love to have. The gang looks ahead at this week's series against the Blue Jays, and Ruben shows everybody an awesome piece of Amaro family baseball memorabilia. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Phillies just swept the Padres in San Diego. They're tied with the Yankees for the third-best record in baseball. They're hot. But nobody in the Phillies lineup is hotter than Alec Bohm. He had 20 home runs and 97 RBIs last season, but is this the year he truly breaks out, makes an All-Star team and maybe even picks up a NL MVP vote or two? Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss his development, both offensively and defensively. Of course, Ranger Suarez's ridiculous 32-inning scoreless streak is discussed, as well as Taijuan Walker's 2024 debut on Sunday in San Diego. Stay for some great beat writer hijinks at the end.
