A Phillies blog companion for the existential process we call life, and a safe haven for sanity. The hopes are high. Just try to be nice, it’s not that hard.
I think I’d rather them hand the starting 3B job to Aidan Miller than spend money on bringing Bohm back
Address your OF & bullpen needs with the money saved, flip Turner & Stott at SS/2B
Kim can play all 3 IF positions if they get him as a super U
The pipe dream of Adrian Morejon converting to a SP is dead. I’ll view him as an RP.
In ‘26: 76 G, 86 IP, 107 K, 2.83 ERA, 2.34 xERA, 30.4% K-rate. Elite SI, CH, 4SFB to generate whiffs.
Match made in heaven for the Phillies tbh.
Royals/Phillies Mock Trade:
Royals Receive:
OF Brandon Marsh
RHP Orion Kerkering
Phillies Receive:
OF Sean Gamble (#10)
RHP Michael Lombardi (#13)
RHP Drew Beam (#20)
Would you make this deal to help strengthen the Royals outfield and bullpen?
For the 6th year in a row the #Phillies were shut out in the Rookie of the Year voting, without a single down-ballot vote.
The only other time they had a drought like that was in 1974-79.

I would love AJ Puk
Hes been hurt, I wonder if there’s a deal to be made that’s more money for year 2
Something like that 2yr $13m, 2026 $5m, 2027 $8m
I would still probably add another lefty besides him
Garrett Stubbs with a long goodbye to Philly.
“We may not have always seen eye to eye, but I gave you everything I had. And for what it’s worth, boos and all, I loved every one of you crazy phuckers whether you liked me or not.”
Your drunk grandfather would drive in 90 hitting behind Harper & Schwarber
If I have to hear about his run production one more time I’m laying on train tracks
“If Alec [Bohm] is not back with us, those 90 runs he drives in every year will be missed."
Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies did not give Alec Bohm a qualifying offer.

I don’t have the exact numbers but I think people similarly had projections all over the place for Murakami
If it’s anywhere near 5/110 the Phillies have to be all over it
Teruaki Sato’s projected contract:
ESPN: 5 Years, $115M
MLBTR: 5 Years, $80M
FanGraphs: 5 Years, $110M
Baseball America: 4 Years, $65M
The Athletic: 5 Years, $140M
The outfield position is the weakest in the sport
Despite his horrid second half, he has value. Plus defender and plenty of teams will believe in his first half
Again, the outfield talent level in the sport is an all time low currently
