Not getting 5% of […]
Nothing quite warms the soul like reading about baseball and spring training on a cold winter’s morn. Now let’s check that weekend forecast! On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
*You might’ve thought the Flyers were out of whatever funk they’ve been stuck in but one win does not a turnaround make. And last night they could not make it two in a row. RECAP ! *Travis Konecny, much like all of us, was tired of losing when he hit the ice in Las Vegas Monday night. [ NBC Sports Philly ] *Speaking of certified Grade A winners, Bobby Brink came back into the lineup and the losing immediately ceased. Coincidence?? PERHAPS. Perhaps not. [ Inquirer ] *Ricky Tacos ...
According to Francys Romero , the Chicago Cubs are signing another reclamation pitcher, bringing in righty Yacksel Rios on a minor league deal. The 32-year-old reliever spent parts of the 2017-21, and 2023 seasons in the big leagues, pitching for the Phillies, Pirates, Mariners, Red Sox, and A’s, flashing big stuff without much in the way of results (6.32 career ERA, 5.61 career FIP, but only 98.1 big league innings). Yacksel Rios has also been in the Rays, White Sox, and Braves’ systems,...
In honor of the Philadelphia Phillies playing host to the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, we here at The Good Phight are launching a yearlong series that focuses on the history of the Phillies and the All-Star Game. Check back regularly for posts about the Phillies participation in (or lack […]
Yesterday, the team held a few Zoom conferences with members of the organization. The more prominent one was with J.T. Realmuto as he talked about coming back to Philadelphia to be a member of the Phillies and how he tries to extract whatever he can to help his fellow catchers. An admirable quest for him, […]

Earlier this offseason, we were all a little surprised to hear that the Red Sox were rumored to be interested in catcher J.T. Realmuto. He’s since resigned with the Phillies, but the Sox are reportedly still interested in upgrading at catcher. While the catching position doesn’t feel like a priority given Carlos Narvaez’s successful rookie […]
Dreaming about potential roster moves is always fun, especially in the trenches of the off season. I’ve always had a list of players I’d want to join the Phillies in a perfect world. Some were because of the way they played (like David Wright and Albert Pujols) and some were more for their personalities (like […]
Is it time for pitchers and catchers yet? Phillies News: MLB News:
In a series of events that developed fast enough to give fans whiplash, the Mets went from missing on Kyle Tucker to inking Bo Bichette less than 24 hours later. The 27-year-old shortstop spurned a long-term deal from the Phillies to sign an extremely player-friendly deal in New York; three years, $126 million, and—most critically—opt-outs […]
The thumb went on the scale, folks. There is no result because the results were skewed. How skewed? When closing responses, there were 548 collected. 86.6% of people claimed Dante Nori was the team’s third best prospect. No disrespect to Nori intended, but there is a consensus among the scouting community who the team’s top […]
To state the obvious: the mood in the Phillies fandom has not been overly sanguine in the past few days. The Phillies missed a chance to get better with Bo Bichette, while their rivals in Queens did not. There are still plenty of reasons to believe in the Phillies as a major contender for next […]
It’s a new week! Also a holiday. If you have the day off from work, enjoy the time off. If you don’t, I hope it’s an easy day at work. Onto the links. Phillies news MLB.com’s Mike Petriello looks at why Bryce Harper wasn’t quite elite in 2025, and what could make him elite again […]
Are y’all done crashing out yet? No? Ok, let me know what you’re done. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
To call yesterday something of a whirlwind would probably be an understatement. The Phillies went from a team that was seemingly on the verge of adding a huge free agent to their roster on one hand to bringing back a key piece of their team and it being something of a disappointment on the other, […]
Bo Bichette: Citizens Bank Park enemy #1. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
A consolation prize. We’ll have more, but I’m still mad at Bo.
Well shoot. I’m usually optimistic about the team….but this stinks.
Believe it or not, but spring training is approaching fast. The Phillies have yet to officially announce when their pitchers and catchers will report to Clearwater, but it’s a safe bet that it will be somewhere around February 11th to 15th, as their first game action will take place on February 21st. But there’s one […]
It’s Friday again. And yet again, I’m writing a links post that doesn’t feature a headline about Bo Bichette signing. Maybe next Friday. Onto the links. Phillies news Francisco Renteria, newly signed with the Phillies, draws a comparison to Bobby Abreu from MLB.com. That’s a good sign. MLB Film Room gives a quick breakdown of […]
The international signing period opens up today, which means the Phillies can officially add one of the top prospects available in Francisco Renteria. From the sounds of it, the Phillies have gotten themselves a big time prospect. Here is the scouting report on Renteria, courtesy of Fangraphs: Renteria has arguably the best raw power projection […]
At the beginning of the off-season, it seemed very unlikely the Phillies would be able to sign a big-money free agent if they also brought back Kyle Schwarber. Of course, they ultimately secured the reigning NL MVP runner-up to a five-year, $150 million contract back in December. The chances of signing one of the other […]
It wasn’t unexpected, but the news of Ranger Suárez’ departure from Philadelphia still came with a touch of somberness. Yesterday it was reported that the lefty agreed to a five year, $130M contract with the Boston Red Sox. Suárez is leaving the only organization he’s ever known in the Phillies, as he signed with the […]
It was inevitable, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt. In case you missed it, Ranger Suárez has found a new home in Boston with a reported five year, $150M deal, leaving the Phillies after being in their organization since 2012. It’s bittersweet, as Suárez was beloved in Philadelphia, but it’s nice to see him […]
