Would be an upgrade for the newly acquired Castro.

Kingery will never play for the Phillies and should really give the Phillies back some money. Hopefully he's ready for a second career.

They may end up dumping Sosa this winter

He was hitting .228 for the Pirates until they sent him down in June and was hitting .225 at AAA.

The Phillies are closing in on a deal with Pittsburgh:

LHP Bailey Falter for multi-position RH hitting IF Rodolfo Castro

The Rangers are in unless they have a monumental collapse. The Phillies probably go down to the last weekend of the season. This is...

It's hard to think about moving a player like Nola, who's been so good for so long, but do the Phils think they can sign him? Should they sign him? He's not old, but he's thrown a lot of innings without really getting hurt. Maybe the timing is right. Despite his inconsistency, he's still a good pitc...

Last year the Phillies played hard for Topper. He had the players' back and they appreciated it after Girardi. This year that same approach might get him fired. There's no accountability for sloppy play. Hitters have slumps. Fielders make errors, but the mental mistakes on this team are going to kee...
