The Phillies Show

What a week for the Phillies.

They went to sleep on Thursday thinking they were signing Bo Bichette, who stunningly signed a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets on Friday. The Phillies quickly improved their offer to J.T. Realmuto, who thought his Phillies career was over. But Realmuto is back, and Dave Dombrowski said he is “content” with where they are as a team.

We dig into a messy situation.

What the hell happened?

The Phillies offered Bo Bichette a seven-year, $200 million contract on Thursday. They thought they had him. Then – poof – he’s gone. Bichette stunned everybody in baseball, when he accepted a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets instead.

The Phillies followed the massive disappointment by signing J.T. Realmuto to a three-year, $45 million deal.

What happened with Bichette? What do we think about the Realmuto deal? What comes next?

The Phillies’ pursuit of Bo Bichette is heating up.

They have talked at least twice this week, including Monday’s ballyhooed Zoom. The Phillies see a path to bringing Bichette to Philadelphia, but several obstacles remain. First, they must outbid the Dodgers, Yankees, Blue Jays, Red Sox and any “mystery” teams. Second, they must shed salary. That means trading Alec Bohm’s $10.2 million contract. That means finding an alternative for J.T. Realmuto.

But is there a way the Phillies could sign both?

We discuss all the angles in our latest episode.

The Phillies have hired Don Mattingly to be their bench coach in 2026.

We love the hire. But how does it help the Phillies? Well, of course, it could help their late-game decision making. But if you read between the lines, Phillies manager Rob Thomson hinted that Mattingly’s star power should bring increased credibility to the coaching staff. The Phillies are trying to tighten up things, and they believe Mattingly should help.

We dig into J.T. Realmuto’s free agency. We talk about the chance Bo Bichette signs with the Phillies, too.

Happy New Year, everybody!

Our first episode of 2026 is a fun one. We answer your questions about the Phillies. We kick off the questions with an “elite” one about Bryce Harper. But we also talk about the Phillies’ outfield, J.T. Realmuto’s future, the Japanese market and more.

Jimmy Rollins is one of our favorites.

Our time with J Roll was so much fun that we split this interview into two episodes. In Part 1, we ask J Roll about his Hall of Fame candidacy and the steps he took to become a Gold Glove shortstop, 2007 NL MVP and 2008 World Series champion. In Part 2, we ask Jimmy about the 2006 Phillies and share a lot of laughs about what it was like covering him in the Phillies clubhouse.

Jimmy also tells us what he's doing off the field!

The Phillies had a busy week last week:

• They signed Adolis Garcia to a one-year, $10 million contract on Tuesday.
• Phillies assistant general manager Ani Kilambi was named Nationals GM on Wednesday.
• The Phils signed Brad Keller to a two-year, $22 million deal on Thursday.
• They traded Matt Strahm to the Royals on Friday for Jonathan Bowlan.
• They traded a Minor League prospect to the Diamondbacks on Friday for Kyle Backhus.

Why did the Phillies trade Strahm? It cleared payroll, for sure. But Strahm’s relationship with the Phillies had soured, too. What is the Phillies’ payroll situation right now? And where do things stand with J.T. Realmuto? What happens if he doesn’t sign?
