  • My Appreciation for Kyle Schwarber

    Kyle Schwarber agreed to a five year, $150 million deal on Tuesday and it took more than 30 days to cash in. Schwarber knew he wanted to be a Phillies player and got the job done.

    Rather than sign for more money or opting for a home reunion in Cincinnati, he ensured Philadelphia was his No.1 destination to continue local sponsorships and raise his children.

    My appreciation for Kyle Schwarber reaches far beyond the 300 level of the CBP right field wall. Schwarber has catapulted into an insisted clubhouse leader and due diligence to reinvigorate the Phillies, once more.

    This opens the door for the Phillies to trade Bryce Harper and receive more value for their buck. The Phillies have a nice core of talent and they cannot fail in what they do.

    Whether that means bringing back J.T. Realmuto or reintroducing the search for other young talent in free agency. the Phillies must not fail under a prized possession in the game of slugging percentage.

    Phillies 2025 MLB Offseason Predictions

    The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a year of certainty. They locked first place of the NL East for the second straight year and look to repeat, once further.

    The Houston Astros or Arizona Diamondbacks or Los Angeles Dodgers were playoff losses, but the Philadelphia Phillies fans can take a sigh of relief for what is about to happen, starting with Justin Crawford.

    Crawford will start the season most likely at right field and be the determing factor of the MLB offseason. There has been all kinds of rumors swirling around Alec Bohm and several other of the Phillies players and it is hard to buy.

    The best bet is the Phillies brought most of their talent from last year, and not blow it up. Beside, this is not a year author of the New York Times, Matt Gelb, becomes decisive of all the Phillies offseason plans blowing up in the face of Phillies fans.

    If Philadelphia stays on the track their on, they will reach a point of consistency again with Bryce Harper leading the team to the playoffs without Nick Castellanos in the lineup.

    Phillies Rob Thomson has come close in winning NL Manager of the Year and who is not to say he cannot lead the team himself.

  • What are the Next Steps of the Philadelphia Phillies

    The next steps of the Philadelphia Phillies have oftentimes been rough, as of late.

    Kyle Schwarber just finished a fantastic season with 56 home runs, almost tying Ryan Howard’s previous record. Zack Wheeler undergone surgery for his arm. Bryce Harper proved he was not an elite batter, according to Dave Dombrowski.

    The trade speculation has been hot for Harper, in particular. He told the Athletic Saturday, of the betrayal.

    The Phillies have up-and-coming prospect Justin Crawford approaching and it would not hurt for them to seek lee way for the son of former All-Star, Carl Crawford.

    Not only that, the Phils could sign Kazuma Okamoto who recently became posted by Japan and hosts a real good chance at being one of the best to come out of the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

    I would not expect the Los Angeles Dodgers to sign him. If they do, it is a swing-and-miss.

    Andrew Painter is also being promoted next year and it would not hurt for the Phillies to take a step back and realize the potential of this team with younger talent.

    Bryce Harper’s time is coming to an end.

    He has long been a solo mark in the history of Major League Baseball since one of the most historic athletes to land.on the cover of Sports Illustrated. J.T. Realmuto, Bryson Stott, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, and Schwarber all supported the move of Harper but that ship has sank since 2022.

    The Phillies want to get ahead of themselves before they live in the past and Dombrowski was right.

    This is a business decision, not a priceless one. Dombrowski worked with some of the best and he does not want to rip his reputation or Philadelphia. Harper must admit, he has to play better next season, if he truly loves the city of Brotherly Love.

  • What is Next for Phillies?

    The Phillies lost their final of the 2025 MLB season 1-2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Former Phil and coach Howie Kendrick without no hesitation that the Phils would swing into this series dead even, but instead the worst happened when newer reliever Orion Kerkering blew a game with the waning seconds remaining!

    94 WIP, local Phillies radio station, called this a travesty and similar to Ben Simmons not dunking the ball.

    It is sour, is it not.

    What is worse the Phillies fall back into a scenario they have to regroup with a hopeful new GM, Preston Mattingly, the son of Don Mattingly.

    Don has come up across scenarios like this, as a former head coach for the Dodgers. The Dodgers are luckily headed to their 7th NLCS with future Hall of Fame manager, Dave Roberts.

    He has just done an absolute job than former interim manager, Rob Thomson.

    Thomson faced the questions already last night from reporters whether his job is secure and he simply said the best he could was go check on sixty other heartbroken men that adjourned on the road, just to lose against the Dodgers.

    Many questions face the Phillies but it is unfair to say jobs come down to Dave Dombrowski or Thomson at the moment.

  • The Evolution of Bryce

    The Evolution of Bryce

    Bryce Harper is a man of his words.

    When he first began in Major League Baseball, he played smart and competitively as a younger teenage phenomenon.

    Fast forward to today, Bryce suits up for the proud stand-up Philadelphia Phillies organization of baseball. If you go on YouTube, take a strong look at all the acrimony that took place til his Phillies introductory press conference.

    Has Bryce lived up to the big stage and moment of the 2025 MLB World Series?

    That depends on who you ask, but, Bryce has taken the Phillies by his shoulders and tried to recreate history, especially when he discusses things on his mind with the media, too.

    Bryce is Bryce.

    This season, he will hit, again, close to the 134 mark in 2023 and try to ring in Runs Batted In close to the same year. This very year, it was always about Bryce Harper despite what critics want to say.

    People forget Kyle Schwarber low-balled himself in Boston and could have retired, then, but it was Bryce who uplifted this team from its misery. Beside, Ryan Howard was a great ball player that can still match vise versa as to what decisions have to be made by Bryce and the whole rest of the team.

    Bryce and Schwarber have been a reckoning force during the offseason, that was the regular season, so, they must regroup now and all use their past attributes to recreate history.
