Ben Cherington and the Pirates plan to increase their payroll by $30-40 million this offseason, which could position them as potential suitors for catcher J.T. Realmuto.
It’s no secret. The Phillies’ outfield over the last two years has largely been a dumpster fire. Last year, Phils’ outfielders finished with a collective 3.5 fWAR, tied for 22nd, with a .710 OPS that was 18th.
Part of the magic of baseball is that it seems to produce multiple feel-good stories every year. Perhaps the best kind of such story is the career minor leaguer who finally gets a taste of the Majors at long last.
Among the countless Hall of Famers who never experienced the joy of winning a World Series, there are several notable legends who stand out. Here's our list of the 25 greatest.
The Toronto Blue Jays are diving aggressively into MLB Free Agency, and Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez has emerged as one of their top priorities.
The results of the 2025 Cy Young Award winners were announced on Wednesday night, and neither winner was much of a surprise: Tarik Skubal of the Tigers took home the American League honors, while the Pirates’ Paul Skenes (perhaps on his way out of town?) captured the National League’s award.
The MLB offseason is ever so slowly lurching to life, and that means trade rumors are starting to rear their head. Last week, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported that the Los Angeles Angels are considering trading outfielders Jo Adell and/or Taylor Ward and Morosi specifically mentioned the Phillies as a possibility.
I think many of the most biased Phillies fans knew that Cristopher Sánchez probably wasn’t going to win the National League Cy Young award this year. That’s not to say he wasn’t deserving, as he fully emerged as one of the best pitchers in the sport and the ace of the Phillies staff in Zack Wheeler’s stead.
Harrison Bader is looking to cash in on a career year. The 31-year-old outfielder posted a .796 OPS in 501 plate appearances with the Twins and Phillies in 2025.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
The Phillies are making center fielder Johan Rojas available in trade conversations, reports Matt Gelb of The Athletic. That’s not especially surprising, as the 25-year-old spent the final two months of the season on optional assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has often been mentioned as a potential trade candidate over the past year. A deal has yet to come to fruition, but MLB Network insider Jon Morosi recently provided an update on a possible Bohm trade.
With Phillies president Dave Dombrowski questioning if star Bryce Harper can come back to elite form, the slugger would be blunt in saying he was “hurt” by the comments made.
The Philadelphia Phillies have been connected to Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton for a handful of years, and the rumors could be surfacing once more.
There used to be (and apparently still is) a saying across baseball: Never trade with the Tampa Bay Rays. For years, the Rays would seem to win every trade they made, turning heretofore unheralded prospects into productive major leaguers.
A homecoming of sorts appears to be on the table for Kyle Schwarber. Rival MLB executives are monitoring the possibility of the free agent slugger Schwarber reuniting with the Boston Red Sox (his former team) this offseason, Robert Murray of FanSided reported this week.
MLB insider for ESPN, Jeff Passan, suggests the Philadelphia Phillies sign free agent infielder Alex Bregman. This move would make a lot of sense for the Phillies.
The Philadelphia Phillies are entering the offseason with hopes of retooling the roster and finally advancing past the NLDS, where they have suffered postseason exits in back-to-back years.
Harrison Bader is coming off of arguably the best season of his career. He is now set to be the third-best outfield free agent available based off of 2025 fWAR (he and Trent Grisham both had 3.2 fWAR).
There are some free agents and trade candidates that the Philadelphia Phillies should avoid adding to their team this offseason. Heading into the 2026 season, the Phillies need to get younger.
Ranger Suarez had another strong year for the Philadelphia Phillies, but is now a free agent after going 12-8 with a 3.20 ERA in 26 starts. He’ll be one of the top starting pitchers available this winter.
Rob Thomson is no stranger to the trials and tribulations that come with World Series aspirations. The Philadelphia Phillies have cemented themselves as a contender under Thomson’s watch, yet the organization remains short of its ultimate goal, a World Series title.
If the manner in which Phillies star Bryce Harper allegedly was treated by one of MLB commissioner Rob Manfred's henchmen is any indication, baseball's upcoming labor negotiations could get ugly real fast.
The Phillies announced they have picked up the club option on left-handed pitcher José Alvarado. The reliever will make $9M next season. Alvarado signed a three-year, $22M extension ahead of the 2023 season.
