If he can pass a physical, Brian Anderson strikes me as a guy who could be interesting to give a shot in RF in a couple of months and put him in the no-pressure #9 hole. Let him rebuild his value on a 1-year prove-it deal. Anderson might be a nice fit. He has some pop and can also play the corners ...

Door open to bring back McCutchen, let him start for two months and then become a bench bat. Or if you want someone with more of a Maton-like profile as an INF/OF, Jurickson Profar is still a FA I'd like to see Cutch back. He could DH and play some LF, then be a nice bench bat. Profar would be grea...

Muzziotti's chances of going north have increased, though with all the missed time in 2022, he'd probably benefit from two months playing everyday at Triple-A I don't see Muzziotti. LH hitter with no pop. I think this increased Jake Cave's chances, which also doesn't excite me, but I think the Phil...

Vierling and Maton were popular young players, who played hard and were home-grown. Vierling, especially, was a favorite of Thomson, but neither one was ever going to be a regular and the Phillies just added a two-time all-star reliever, who is under control for three seasons. The bullpen has a chan...

Phillies DFA Francisco Morales to make room for Kimbrel on the 40-man Winkelman goes bonkers, says Morales is the team's #13 prospect and they have 4-5 trash pitchers on the 40-man. So suspicion is that Morales will be traded as part of the DFA process I have to admit, this one has me puzzled. The ...

Phils waste $10m on washed up Kimbrel This is the Phillies kryptonite. Knebel, Familia, Hand, Robertson, Bradley, etc. Maybe it will work out. I hope so, but considering the track record, not likely. Identifying and developing future closers is the way to go, not signing former closers and hoping t...

I'm still hoping for a lefty hitter that can play corner OF and be a late inning defensive replacement for Hoskins. Hall can be pitched to and can't seem to hit a breaking pitch, but he does hit mistakes out of the park. As for Vierling, I see him playing a lot. It seems like he's one of Thomson's f...

Have the Phillies signed Tyjuan Walker yet? If not, what's the holdup?

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Phillies at it again, closing in on deal with free-agent left-handed reliever Matt Strahm, sources tell me and @MattGelb https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/strahma01.shtml Oh to be a lefty pitcher. The Phils were doing great, but overpaying for crappy veteran ...
