Since we are in the crazy season of teams talking trades, sometimes it’s fun to talk about ones people think the Phillies should be making. We’ve talked about what the needs are that this team has, so there’s really no reason to rehash what they’re looking around for. If you paid any attention to the […]

Back-to-back wins over the Nationals have the Braves up eight games in the NL East, looking like a near lock to return to the postseason following a one-year hiatus. But it’s going to be difficult to make it very far past that point if they don’t find some answers for their rotation issues. Those could […]
