A six-game sample size is far too small to induce any panic, but it’s been far from an ideal start to the season for the Philadelphia Phillies. Touted as a World Series frontrunner by many, the Phillies have had a sluggish start to their 2024 campaign, with a 2-4 record and -14 run differential. Of […]

For all the excitement of MLB Opening Day, there’s often a feeling of hesitation for baseball fans as their team’s seasons get underway. The first few games can feel like a trial run as teams feel each other out and star players struggle through their first couple outings. Sure, the games count now, but is […]

There’s a lot that must feel new about this season for Rhys Hoskins. It’s his first as a Milwaukee Brewer, after the emotional rush of the 2022 playoff run with the Philadelphia Phillies, a season-ending ACL tear to start 2023, and the experience of becoming expendable once Bryce Harper moved to first base. Yet with […]

The Philadelphia Phillies haven’t gotten off to a good start in 2024 after allowing 21 runs to the rival Atlanta Braves in a pair of losses through the first two games of the season. But it isn’t for a lack of effort from superstar Bryce Harper. Atlanta’s Austin Riley popped a foul ball of Phillies […]

The Atlanta Braves earned a 9-3 victory on Opening Day over the Philadelphia Phillies. It was an impressive road win, as Atlanta didn’t deal with too much trouble despite the Phillies’ passionate and loud fans at Citizens Bank Park. Braves ace Spencer Strider, who pitched five innings of two-run baseball while striking out eight, reacted […]

The Philadelphia Phillies roster is stacked with big-time talent, but their championship window won’t last forever. The 2024 season will be a big one for the team, and they are more than capable of making a run to the World Series. The start of the season didn’t go quite as planned for the Phillies, as […]

With Opening Day games set to kick off in under 24 hours, it’s the last day for all of us to stake our claim on the 2024 MLB season before it’s officially tainted by hindsight. And while favorites are favorites for a reason, today is the day to buck the trend. That’s right, it’s time […]

The New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves will need to wait an extra day to start the 2024 MLB season. Rain in Thursday’s forecast caused both the Mets (who are hosting the Brewers) and the Phillies (who are hosting the Braves) to postpone their Opening Day games from Thursday afternoon to […]

We’re here to share our MLB odds series, make a Braves-Phillies prediction, and pick while showing you how to watch. The Braves went 104-58 last season, and […]

The Philadelphia Phillies had a busy Sunday. Not only did the front office extend a key pitcher to a new contract, but they also made a trade with the Colorado Rockies. In short, the organization maintained its pitching rotation for the long haul while also clearing some cap space. Pitcher Matt Strahm agreed to a […]

As MLB Opening Day approaches, the Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly looking at adding free-agent pitcher Jordan Montgomery after Taijuan Walker’s recent injury. According to MLB insider Bob Nightengale, the Phillies are having discussions about signing Montgomery, who is represented by polarizing agent Scott Boras. “The Philadelphia Phillies are at least internally discussing the possibility of […]

Will 2024 be the Philadelphia Phillies’ year? The Phillies are fresh off back-to-back impressive seasons. Philadelphia reached the World Series in 2022 and the NLCS in 2023. However, Philadelphia fell short of winning a World Series in both seasons. Expectations are high once again for this Phillies ball club heading into the new campaign. They […]

The Philadelphia Phillies added a notable pickup to their roster back in February when they signed utility infielder Whit Merrifield to a one-year deal worth $8 million. That transaction also probably would not have happened if not for Bryce Harper reaching out to the veteran, according to Philadelphia President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski (h/t […]

The Philadelphia Phillies have to be a bit concerned. Bryce Harper, the team’s superstar hitter, has missed the last three games of spring training. Reports say that Harper is dealing with a back injury, putting his status for Opening Day in question. Back injuries are tricky to deal with, after all, and Philly would want […]

Bryce Harper is dealing with a back issue with Opening Day right around the corner. The Philadelphia Phillies aren’t worried, however. Still, it’s never a positive update when a player has missed three consecutive games due to any kind of injury concern. Phillies manager Rob Thomson recently provided an update on Harper, via Jayson Stark […]

The Philadelphia Phillies will take on the Atlanta Braves on Opening Day. Which is a tough matchup considering Atlanta is considered a potential playoff contender. With that in mind, many have speculated who will start on the mound to begin the season. We finally know the answer. On Sunday, Philadelphia officially announced Zack Wheeler, not […]

The Philadelphia Phillies have high expectations for the 2024 season. The team reached the World Series in 2022 and fell just short of the Fall Classic in 2023. 2024 projects to be another big campaign, but the Phillies would benefit from making one trade before Opening Day. With Dylan Cease recently getting traded from the […]

The Philadelphia Phillies are led by a crop of All-Stars like Bryce Harper and Zack Wheeler. It’s the “other guys” such as outfielder Brandon Marsh, whose contributions turn the Phillies from a good team to a great team in the playoffs. Marsh made his spring training debut on Wednesday in Philadelphia’s 4-1 win over the […]

Starting pitcher Zach Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies are currently gearing up for a 2024 MLB season filled with expectations following the team’s second straight run deep into the postseason in 2023. Last week, Wheeler inked a mammoth three-year, $126 million contract extension with the Phillies that will keep him with the team through the […]

Trea Turner and the Philadelphia Phillies are currently gearing up for a 2024 MLB season in which anything short of a World Series championship will feel like a relative disappointment. Turner started off brutally slow in the 2023 season, which was his first in a Phillies uniform, but ultimately broke through down the stretch and […]

This past postseason, Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies once again made quick work of the Atlanta Braves in the first round of the playoffs before eventually bowing out, this time in the NLCS against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Harper was electric in the Phillies’ win over Atlanta for the second consecutive year, consistently eviscerating a […]

In what has been a long and boring MLB offseason, Blake Snell is perhaps one of the catalysts for that. The free agent was one of the hottest names to hit the market once the 2023 season ended, which should have made for an exciting offseason. Yet, here we are, just weeks away from the […]

It’s the first week of March already but Blake Snell remains a free agent. Recently, though, Snell’s agent, Scott Boras, revealed that interest in the two-time Cy Young pitcher has intensified. The Philadelphia Phillies may not be among the teams looking in Snell’s direction because of the future non-baseball impact that such a move carries. […]

Zack Wheeler’s net worth in 2024 is $7 million. Zack Wheeler will be in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future on the back of his brand new three-year, $126 million deal. Wheeler has been one of the best arms in the league since 2020 when he joined the Phillies. Wheeler put together three straight seasons with […]

Huge news in the baseball world was reported as the Philadelphia Phillies and star Zack Wheeler agreed on a three year, $126 million contract extension after a stellar season Monday.

It’s not too often that a reigning NL Cy Young Award winner remains unsigned through the first two weeks of Spring Training, but here we are with the odd situation around Blake Snell. Snell is remaining firm in his contract demand, which is his right since he is coming off an award-winning campaign, although it’s […]

The Philadelphia Phillies and Zack Wheeler agreed to a three-year, $126 million contract extension on Monday.

Nick Castellanos went yard early in the spring training matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins. It was a fantastic home run from the veteran outfielder. However, after rounding the bases he couldn’t help but notice the bat boy, his son, slacking on the job. As a result, Castellanos went full dad mode at […]

Dollar Dog Night used to be one of the most popular events for a Philadelphia Phillies game. Fans would pack the stands and hot dogs would be sold like… well, hot dogs. But it’s all coming to an end this season all thanks to the shenanigans fans pulled in the past. The Phillies will no […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of the best players in the MLB currently, and that doesn’t look likely to change anytime soon. With Acuna wreaking havoc for the Atlanta Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies are one of the teams that feel Acuna’s wrath most frequently given that both squads play in the National League East. Well, […]

Philadelphia Phillies fans are hoping for a third straight season with a deep postseason run. They lost in the World Series in 2022, and they followed that up with a loss in the NLCS last season. It seems like only a matter of time until they break through and capture a championship, though, and that […]

Rhys Hoskins is in his first spring training away from the Philadelphia Phillies, as he prepares to go into the 2024 season with the Milwaukee Brewers, and he spoke about the feeling of departing from the team that he came up with. “It’s a special place,” Rhys Hoskins said of the Phillies organization, via Bob […]

Ken Giles was once regarded as one of baseball’s best relievers. The 33-year-old previously pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays, and Seattle Mariners. Giles, though, has appeared in a total of nine games since 2020 due to injuries, and most recently appeared in the big leagues in 2022. He’s now looking […]
