The Phillies Show

The Phillies’ window to win the World Series with this core is closing, so they need to do what they can before the Aug. 3 trade deadline. They need to make trades.

Baseball America wrote something recently that backed up Ruben’s take last week that the Phillies need to be bold … prospects almost never come back to haunt the teams that traded them. So the Phillies need to be aggressive, make trades and do what they can to give themselves the best chance to win.

We also discuss the Phillies’ 3-6 homestand, and the upcoming series in Miami.

The Aug. 3 trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and the Phillies still need a bat, a reliever and a starter.

What do they need the most?

Honestly, you could make a strong argument for any one of the three. The Phillies have the lowest on-base percentage in Major League Baseball, so they need somebody who can get on base. The No. 5 starter’s spot has been a black hole since the beginning of the season, which is costing them wins and wearing out the bullpen. And with Brad Keller out for the season and José Alvarado struggling, who’s the bridge to Jhoan Duran in the ninth inning?

We’ve got names to consider. More than 50, actually. Everybody from Mason Miller to Michael Wacha to Lane Thomas to Taylor Ward to A.J. Minter to Robbie Ray and more.

What in the world happened to the Phillies on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park?

The Phillies made a couple base running blunders in the ninth inning in a 2-1 loss. Was the contact play on? Don Mattingly said Justin Crawford was supposed to run on any ball hit. Crawford said he wasn’t. But then J.T. Realmuto exercised a lapse in judgment and inexplicably got thrown out at second to end the game.

Trea Turner showed what he can do defensively on Tuesday. He’s been showing what he can do offensively for more than a month. Zack Wheeler loves strikeouts again.

Two innings into Sunday’s series finale against the Mets, you just knew the Phillies had lost.

But then that’s how it’s been for the Phillies’ No. 5 starter this year. The Phillies are 5-20 in games started by anybody NOT named Cristopher Sánchez, Zack Wheeler, Jesús Luzardo and Aaron Nola this season. Those pitchers have a combined 7.33 ERA.

The Phillies’ No. 5 starter spot hasn’t won a game since May 18!

Is Trea Turner finally on the right track again? Big, if true.

The Phillies won another series, following Thursday night’s victory in Cincinnati.

Jesús Luzardo was brilliant, striking out 11 in seven scoreless innings. But you know what else was good? Jonathan Bowlan and Jhoan Duran in the final two. The Phillies need more depth in the bullpen, however, following José Alvarado’s and Tanner Banks’ latest meltdowns on Wednesday.

Bryce Harper is competing in the Home Run Derby. We expect Kyle Schwarber to be, too.

Plus, Don Mattingly said he’d like to remain as Phillies manager beyond this season. Will he?

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler showed everybody on Tuesday why he believes he should be an NL All-Star.

He struck out a career-high 14 batters in seven innings in a dominant performance against the Reds. Afterward, he made his case to join his six teammates at the All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park.

Kyle Schwarber continues to hit Schwarbombs, although Tuesday’s in Cincinnati was an unusual one. Plus, Orion Kerkering’s issues in the eighth inning, Trea Turner’s defense and more.

Bryce Harper was one of five Phillies to make the 2026 National League All-Star team.

He will join Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, Cristopher Sánchez and Jhoan Duran. Does this make Harper elite again? Was there any doubt he wasn’t? We share our thoughts on each of the five Phillies All-Stars.

We also discuss Aaron Nola’s start on Sunday, Andrew Painter’s Triple-A start on Saturday and more.
