The Phillies officially announced their reunion with catcher J.T. Realmuto on Tuesday, effectively capping a strange offseason that ended as-expected while occurring like very few expected. And so the question becomes: Are the 2026 Phillies better than the 2025 Phillies? How much better did they actually need to get? Paul and Matt offer hope and caution in (almost) equal measure.
