The Phillies Show

The Phillies might not be running it back after all. They are having a virtual meeting on Monday with Bo Bichette. We discuss: Why the Phillies jumped into the Bichette sweepstakes. The Phillies’ chances to sign Bichette, including the Phils’ top competition. What does this mean for J.T. Realmuto? What does this mean for Alec Bohm? What does this mean for the Phillies 2026 payroll? Get...

The Phillies have hired Don Mattingly to be their bench coach in 2026. We love the hire. But how does it help the Phillies? Well, of course, it could help their late-game decision making. But if you read between the lines, Phillies manager Rob Thomson hinted that Mattingly’s star power should bring increased credibility to the coaching staff. The Phillies are trying to tighten up things, and...

J Roll talked about his Hall of Fame chances and the steps he took to become of the greatest players in Phillies history.

Jimmy Rollins is one of our favorites. Our time with J Roll was so much fun that we split this interview into two episodes. In Part 1, we ask J Roll about his Hall of Fame candidacy and the steps he took to become a Gold Glove shortstop, 2007 NL MVP and 2008 World Series champion. In Part 2, we ask Jimmy about the 2006 Phillies and share a lot of laughs about what it was like covering him in the P...

The Phillies had a busy week last week: They signed Adolis Garcia to a one-year, $10 million contract on Tuesday. Phillies assistant general manager Ani Kilambi was named Nationals GM on Wednesday. The Phils signed Brad Keller to a two-year, $22 million deal on Thursday. They traded Matt Strahm to the Royals on Friday for Jonathan Bowlan. They traded a Minor League prospect to the Diamondbacks on...

The Phillies have been busy the past week or so. They signed Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million deal. They signed Adolis García to a one-year $10 million deal. They have reached an agreement with Brad Keller on a two-year, $22 million deal. What’s next for the Phillies? Is J.T. Realmuto coming back? We also caught up with Phillies’ Rule 5 Draft pick Zach McCambley, who grew up in the Poco...

The Phillies on Monday agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with free-agent right fielder Adolis Garcia. He will be Nick Castellanos’ replacement in right field, which should not surprise anybody who has been watching and listening to the show since mid-October. We’ve been saying for weeks that Castellanos won’t be back. But what about Harrison Bader? Does this signal the end of his chances...

Kyle Schwarber on Tuesday signed a five-year, $150 million contract with the Phillies. We discuss how it went down and why we like the deal. But we also discuss what’s next for the Phils. Is it J.T. Realmuto? Is it a reliever? Can they still go after Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette and Cody Bellinger? Get your holiday gifts here! Phillies Show merchandise at ThePhilliesShowShop.com ! Use th...

We have a feeling about Kyle Schwarber. Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski does, too. He used the word “optimism” on Monday regarding the Phillies’ pursuit of Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto. Jim heard that Schwarber could make a decision before the end of the week. Todd heard that Schwarber thinks something with the Phillies will get done. We talk about Don Mattingly being the...

Everything hinges on Kyle Schwarber. It can be said for the Phillies, and so many other teams at the Winter Meetings. Dribs and drabs of interest in Schwarber continue to make news, with Ken Rosenthal recently reporting that the Pirates have made a four-year offer for the slugging DH. But we still think Schwarber is headed back to Philadelphia. We explain why. But what if Schwarber leaves? We offe...

The Winter Meetings begin Monday in Orlando, Fla. WIP’s Joe DeCamara joins the show to talk about the Phillies’ quiet offseason so far, what he’d like to see happen next week, what he thinks about the Phillies “running it back” and more. Plus, DeCamara talks about his new book “ The Best of Philly Sports .” Jim then tries to beat The Hammer with Phillies trivia. Can you beat The Hammer? Get your h...

The Winter Meetings are next week in Orlando, Fla., where magical things can happen. Ranger Suárez could have a magical winter, following Dylan Cease’s seven-year $210 million contract with the Blue Jays. Suárez is arguably the best starting pitcher remaining in free agency, unless Framber Valdez is more your speed. Kyle Schwarber and J.T Realmuto remain free agents. We discuss the latest, which i...

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! We got together to give thanks to baseball, and answer your Phillies questions. What are we thankful for? Do the Phillies have enough payroll flexibility to get another big bat beyond Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto? What’s up with Harrison Bader? Is Andrew Painter going to be better than … Spencer Howard? And much more! Take advantage of Ridge’s Biggest Sale of the...

If you thought the Phillies and Kyle Schwarber would sign a multiyear contract shortly after free agency started, think again. We still think Schwarber will re-sign with the Phillies, but right now his agency is trying to maximize his value -- as they should. That means drawn-out negotiations, and maybe even a little frustration on the Phillies’ end. It’s rally no surprise. Schwarber had a massive...

The Hot Stove is on a low simmer with Thanksgiving fast approaching. But there are interesting reports out there. How about the Pirates pursuing Kyle Schwarber? We’ll eat our shoes if that one happens, but it is worth discussing. We talk about Schwarber’s free agency, who got qualifying offers, who the Phillies protected in the Rule 5 Draft, the non-tender deadline and more. Get 15% off The Perfec...

The GM Meetings wrapped up this week in Las Vegas. Dave Dombrowski spoke about the team’s outfield situation, including what’s happening in center field, Nick Castellanos’ future with the team and more. We thought the most interesting news was word that Twins star Byron Buxton might be willing to waive his no-trade clause, if Minnesota continues to sell this offseason. We’d love Buxton in the Phil...

Dave Dombrowski and his top lieutenants are in Las Vegas this week for the GM Meetings. They’ve got plenty to discuss. So do we. We asked you for our questions and we answered a bunch of them. Everything from Kyle Schwarber’s timetable to sign to Nick Castellanos’ future to Don Mattingly’s chances to be bench coach to who’s going to be the biggest free agent the Phillies sign and more! Get Huel fo...

Baseball America on Friday released its latest Philles top 10 prospects list. You might be surprised at who’s No. 1. We talked to Baseball America's Josh Norris about it. We discussed Phillies prospects like Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller, Justin Crawford, Gage Wood, Dante Nori, Aroon Escobar, Gabriel Rincones Jr., Moisés Chace, Matthew Fisher and more. We discuss the overall state of the Phillies’...

The Phillies can’t solve everything via free agency. They might need to make a trade to upgrade the 2026 roster. We talked Monday about the Phillies’ top free agent targets. Today, we’re talking about top trade targets. We discuss: Adley Rutschman Hunter Goodman Ryan Jeffers Ketel Marte Brandon Lowe Brendan Donovan Nolan Arenado Isaac Paredes Byron Buxton Jarren Duran Steven Kwan Jo Adell Tyler Wa...

The World Series ended on Saturday. Free agency started on Sunday. The Philadelphia Phillies said they want to bring back Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Ranger Suárez and Harrison Bader, although Schwarber and Realmuto are their top two priorities. But the Phillies need backup options if Schwarber and Realmuto sign elsewhere. They also need options if they trade somebody from their big league rost...

Phillies prospect Dante Nori had a heck of a first full season in professional baseball. Nori, whom the Phillies selected with the 27th overall pick in the 2024 Draft. He started the season in Low-A Clearwater, advanced to High-A Jersey Shore before finishing the season with Double-A Reading. He talked about his progress as a hitter, his desire to steal 100 bases, his friendship with Phillies free...

Bryce Harper speaks! He told The Athletic on Saturday that he is “hurt” by Dave Dombrowski’s original comments about his 2025 season, and the trade speculation that followed.
