New year, same us. Phillies Therapy's first episode in 2025 focuses mainly on one question: Have the Phillies done enough with the bullpen and its depth this offseason? Paul and Matt dig in.

Surprise! The Phillies made some moves last week that warranted a (not-so-) quick episode this week after all. Paul and Matt discuss the Max Kepler signing and Jesus Luzardo trade, their ripple effects, and whether this finally makes the Phillies a better team on paper than they were in '24.

And so the wait continues. Paul (with an assist from his 3-month-old co-host) and Matt don't have any Phillies moves to discuss yet, but the market is slowly forming around the team.

The Phillies are fielding trade interest in some of their Major League players. Which ones? How many would it be sensible to trade away, and what kinds of returns should the Phillies seek or expect? Plus, a bit more on the influx of cash from new ownership partners, what to make of it, and where it's likely to be put to use. Paul and Matt have you covered.

Will the Phillies pursue Juan Soto? Who should the Phillies add to replace Juan Soto in the bullpen? How many innings will Juan Soto pitch as the 5th starter? Is there a limit to how much Juan Soto can spend to add free agents? Finally, Juan Soto. Paul and Matt discuss the offseason at the outset of the GM meetings in Texas, where the Phillies have some decisions to make as they prepare to lay the groundwork to court a new superstar; failing that, what else could they reasonably do to shore up the outfield, bullpen, and bench?
