2026 preview: One player, one question: Will Trea Turner’s defensive improvements stick?
The Phillies didn’t sign Trea Turner because they thought he was a great defender at shortstop. They mostly wanted his batting-title winning righthanded bat at the top of the lineup.

Phillies news: Bryce Harper, Gage Wood, Emmanuel Clase
The team’s starting rotation is out and it should not be a surprise. Cristopher Sanchez will start the opener and will be followed by Aaron Nola and Jesus Luzardo.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Is there anything that goes together quite like the Phillies and St. Patrick’s Day? After all, “Phillie” kind of sounds like an Irish term, and the team mascot is green for some reason. The Phillies used to wear green uniforms on the holiday, but due to Nike’s rules limiting the number of uniforms, that tradition […]
