With Nick Castellanos and Max Kepler likely gone, how does Dave Dombrowksi improve the outfield this winter? Might we see call-ups, in the form of top prospect Justin Crawford? Will John Middleton open up the checkbook for Kyle Tucker in free agency? If not will Dave Dombrowski do better in the free agency bargain bin than Kepler? And could this be the year for a trade, particularly with Brandon Marsh? The Phillies could revisit the Steven Kwan trade market. Jamie Lynch and Rich Hofmann discuss the Phillies hot stove, potential MLB realignment and more on the PHLY Phillies Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski sat down for his annual October press conference, he offered intriguing comments about Phillies star first baseman Bryce Harper. At one point, Dombrowski wondered aloud if Harper would return to being an elite player after his worst season as a Phillie in 2025. But in a recent article in The Athletic, Harper said that he played through injury and was "really hurt" by Dombrowski's comments. Was Dombrowski simply challenging his start player? Might Bryce Harper get traded? If not, will this drama linger into the 2026 season? Jamie Lynch and Rich Hofmann discuss that and more on the PHLY Phillies Podcast.

Joel Sherman noted in his podcast this week that "he wouldn't be 100% shocked if Bryce Harper got traded" this offseason. We're here to tell you: that's NOT happening. Harper will be on the Philadelphia Phillies in 2026, and will likely be the team's first baseman, unless they acquire another 1B and he moves back to the outfield or DH spot. But he WILL be in Philadelphia in 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
