The Philadelphia Phillies are in the midst of Spring Training and there are a bunch of storylines on our minds as this team heads into the 2025 season. Will certain players be placed at different positions in the outfield and infield? The pitching could be the best in Major League Baseball the year. Eric Moratelli from Fansided’s ThatBallsOuttaHere.com joined us for a deep dive into some of these storylines. It was a fantastic discussion!
But first, the guys dove into some Eagles talk as RB Saquon Barkley just signed an extension, and CB Darius Slay was released. Who should be the priority re-signings this offseason? (Approx. 3:40)
From there, they discussed the start of MLS’s 2025 season and Philadelphia Union’s phenomenal performances out of the gate. Are the Union a really good team? (Approx. 18:35)
Then the guys talked about the upcoming NHL trade deadline and asked the question: what if the Flyers do not make a trade? Will it be the end of the world? (Approx. 28:50)
Then they discussed a Phillies pitching storyline that we’re all following closely: what will Taijuan Walker’s role be this coming season? (Approx. 46:35)
What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth discussion with Eric Moratelli from That Balls Outta Here about some Phillies storylines that have been coming out of Spring Training. Who will back up J.T. Realmuto at the catcher position this season? Might Kyle Schwarber get playing time at first base in the infield? Will we see a bounce-back season from Bryson Stott? All of this and much more this week on the Table! (Approx. 46:35)
