Last year, the Philadelphia Phillies started off slowly but got hot at the right time and made it to the World Series.

The Philadelphia Phillies are struggling immensely early on after making the World Series last fall and unfortunately, that includes marquee signing Trea Turner.

John Henry has shown over his run as owner of the Boston Red Sox that he is not one to shy away from making sudden moves. He did just that in Sept. 2019 when he relieved Dave Dombrowski from his duties as the team’s president of baseball operations. This call came a day after the […]

The Philadelphia Phillies, who were the last seed in the National League heading into the playoffs, are heading to their first World Series since 2009.
