Today, we have a top prospect of the Phillies, Cole Irvin, joining our show. In his interview, he will tell us some of his favorite parts of being a professional baseball player and his hopes of putting on the red pinstripes. Also, with the addition of veteran reliever David Robertson, the Phillies look to sure up the back end of the bullpen, even though they missed out on some of the bigger names they originally targeted. With the “stupid money” comments looming over management, did Middleton pin the Phillies in a deep hole in contract negotiations? Finally, who will be in  the Phillies 2019 back end of the bullpen? Or will they even have a solidified closer?

All of these subjects and more coming up on the 2nd episode of Phancast.

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be facing a decision with one of their catchers when Spring Training rolls around

Catching depth is one of the most important things for a Major League Baseball team to possess. Just ask the 2011 Pittsburgh Pirates who used eight different catchers. When Spring Training 2019 begins, this year’s edition of the Pittsburgh Baseball Club will have a decision to make pertaining to their catching depth.

Right now the team has three catchers on their 40-man roster. These three catchers are starter Franciso Cervelli, his primary backup Elias Diaz, and Jacob Stallings. While Cervelli and Diaz have spots on the Opening Day roster locked up, the Pirates face a decision with Stallings.

Following Goldschmidt and Corbin’s departure, the DBacks are looking for a new direction. A complete rebuild has been rumored, while GM Mike Hazen has remained adamant on competing in 2019. Holes on the roster remain, mainly in center and in the bullpen. With the hot stove heating up, does Arizona go after top free agents, or sit back and work with what they’ve got?

The Hot Stove rumors begin to heat up as the new year begins. The Evil Empire is looking as evil as ever and Darth Machado might be the next one to be recruited. Brian Cashman talked rumors, speculation and free agents and what it all means. The stove is clearly getting much hotter.

The Phillies have been connected to superstar free agents Manny Machado and Bryce Harper for the entirety of the offseason but what will the team do if they whiff on the pair? How valuable are the additions of Jean Segura and Andrew McCutchen and where do the Phillies stand in the pitching market.

One of the more entertaining pitchers on the Pittsburgh Pirates staff had an opportunity to play a joke recently.  So what was it?

As the Pittsburgh Pirates move along this offseason, it has been very slow in terms of Pittsburgh Pirates stories, with the team not making a move in nearly three weeks.  With that, there has not been a lot of news to discuss among the team or really in baseball in general.  Like last offseason, this one seems to be moving just as slow.  General Managers and organizations do not want to risk giving out a major contract that will backfire like so many have in the past.

Players are acquired based on what teams expect them to do going forward.  Each player has a projection, but their true talent isn’t known and they’ll fall somewhere within a distribution, which comes with risk. 

Neal Huntington has been risk averse in his tenure as the Pittsburgh Pirates general manager.  He’s rarely traded big time prospects, with the move for Chris Archer being uncharacteristic, and he’s not been able to reach the finish line in other big names such as Jon Lester, David Price, or Jose Quintana.
