Don’t forget nola too. He’s got 5 years left on that albatross contract.

He needs to be gone. Easy for me to say eat the money but Ranger is better. Needs to be step one

Second, if KS wants 5 years then let him walk. Say the right things now but he's not just talking he has no creativity or ability to build a team. We are about to watch another year go by with nothing changing. We'll be right back here.

Use the KS money to build a team vs dump money into a guy who I love but who hasn't shown up the last 2 years. Use the money on the pen or a legit 4 hitter

Even if they dump Nola they are going to have to eat money. Meaning don’t get all the money after dumping Nola. Only a portion of it. Plus luzardo is a FA next year. It’s really would rather have Luzardo or Ranger. Tbh I’m betting they say Luzardo as he’s younger and better stuff.

For one I can't believe they are making zero coaching changes... at minimum please try someone besides Kevin Fng Long. Second running it back is not good enough, DD is delusional. If they want to run it back you need a cleanup hitter in addition to bringing back Schwarber. I'm starting to hate the sound of DDs smug voice. Guy always has an excuse and this year its just the Dodgers pitching was better. Refuses to include/address his own roster issues.

That's what I'm saying. I don't care and they shouldn't either if the goal is the win. I want Luzardo as well, but one thing at a time. If they win a WS next year they can figure it out. Maybe Wheels retires afterwards. Whatever. If they don't sign KS it makes it easier.

Getting rid of Nola’s contract but still taking on half isn’t going to provide enough to keep both Suarez and luzardo. They’d have to have a team take on all of nola. Tbh i think Phillies would choose Luzardo over Ranger

It's an absolute F you to fans. They have no clue what they are doing and they don't care. I thought the owner was good. He's trash too.

F this crap too. This is such a freaking example of how soft this team is. Give him assistance out the damn door.

Why I’ve said the bigger issue is Dombrowski. He has no accountability for his mistakes and uses excuses to justify the team and his failures. It’s why i don’t care if they fire Thomson or not. Gonna be stuck with the architect that keeps building poorly and hopes eventually it’ll pay off

Give credit to kemp that’s a tough SOB

Pretty impressive they were bad at home but then go into one of the hardest parks to hit at and have been raking.

They’ll have a shot at getting to the World Series for a while cause the American League is wide open. I believe the 3 best teams are in the NL.

Maybe we can get rid of Turner and sign Bichette

Bowden talked about bichette moving to 3B and then trading Bohm

Phillies really shouldn’t go after Bregman. That feels like a bad contract waiting to happen. He was awesome before his injury this year. He’s going to be 32 next year. After his injury he was actually worse than Bohm.

Before injury:

.299/.385/.553/.938 11 HRs and 35 RBI (51 games)

After injury:

.250/.338/.386/.724 7 HRs and 27 RBI (63 games)

If you are going to sign a RH hitter for the money then might as well say F it go Alonso. Move harper back to RF with schwarber at DH and Alonso at 1b

Alonso is a player Bryce would move to RF for. They apparently ask Bryce about it last offseason

Stats the past 2 seasons:

Bohm also has better fielding stats....

I’m more in favor of keeping Bohm til the deadline when they bring up miller. Then use Bohm at the deadline to bring back either a BP or prospects. I think the smarter decision would be signing Alonso or Tucker then when miller is ready in June/July trade Bohm. That said bichette’s 2024 was awful it’s why Bohm’s numbers are better last two years. Bichette was good in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. He was better all those years than Bohm in avg, OBP, slugging and ops and usually HRs too

Add on in 2025 bichette was significantly better before he got hurt was on pace for a career year besides his HR total. Defensively bichette played shortstop so hard to know if his defense would improve switching to third.

2021: .298/.343/.484/.828 29 HRs and 102 RBI

2022: .290/.333/.469/.802 24 HRs and 93 rbi

2023: .306/.339/.475/.814 20 hrs and 73 rbi (135 games)

2024: .225/.277/.322/.598 4 hrs and 31 rbi (81 games)

2025: .311/.357/.483/.840 18 HRs and 94 rbi (139 games)

Bohm since 2021:

2021: .247/.305/.342/.647 7 HRs and 47 rbi (115 games)

2022: .280/.315/.398/ .713 13 HR and 72 rbi

2023: .274/.327/.437/.765 20 HR 97 rbi

2024: .280/.322/.448/.779 15 hr and 97 rbi

2025: .287/.331/.409/.741 11 hrs and 59 rbi (120 games)

I’d also trade marsh now when he has 2 controllable years left and off a good year. Cash in when another team still believes they can fix his left handed pitching issue.
