The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a four-year offer to Kyle Schwarber. Yup, that's a real and factual sentence. As the Winter Meetings kick off in Florida, Paul and Matt chat about Schwarber's market and expected decision timeline, the constraints (or lack thereof) the Phils have for payroll beyond Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto, and a quick health check.

With an offseason headlined early by outfield pursuits and reunions with key free agents, one area of the team may be going overlooked. Paul and Matt look at the state of the rotation, its lack of depth, and the kind of player (or players) the Phillies might look to bring it to help out.

The slowest part (probably) of the offseason is over, and now some moves will be made. Paul and Matt breeze through the last three weeks before looking ahead to a few important deadlines this week, trade interest in players on the Phillies' Major League roster, and walking the fine line of big-name trades.

Paul and Matt look ahead to an offseason in need of something extra. The Phillies exited the playoffs in the NLDS again — albeit to a tremendous team this time — and now have questions up and down their roster. Although they know manager Rob Thomson will be back, just about anything else is still on the table. What's the next core? How much overhauling do you do in the outfield? How does this thing still look while revolving around Bryce Harper? Questions (and live reactions to the double play in the NLCS) abound.

There's still work to do, but after a thorough and convincing 8-2 in Game 3 at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, the Phillies have a chance to send the Division Series back to Philadelphia. With Cris on the mound, the Phils hope to carry over some of Wednesday night's momentum into their latest must-win. Paul and Matt talk pitching strategies, Schwarbombs, the saving grace of that 8th inning, and the hope that Harrison Bader can play the outfield again this series.

That familiar feeling seems to be creeping across the fanbase: "Uh oh." The Phils dropped the first game of the Division Series to the Dodgers, and while Monday night isn't a literal must-win...it does feel pretty close to being one. We talk offense, the different styles between Ohtani and Snell, and trying to keep happiness alive.

Red October is (nearly) upon us. The Phillies will face the winner of the Wild Card series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds. While we await game action and, eventually, an opponent, Paul and Matt sit down to look at this Phils run in franchise and divisional context, assess this team's place among the rest of the field, and make Wild Card round predictions.
