  • 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.

  • Why it is Time for Kyler Murray to Consider Baseball

    Kyler Murray is a former Heisman winner with plenty to offer. He was drafted 1st overall and 9th in MLB history.

    Something that is very unprecedented.

    It was just announced that the NFL Arizona Cardinals had to shutdown the multitalented quarterback again for another season. Shame on the fact that this took place.

    Although, what is more interesting about this case is that Murray could opt for baseball. Past athletes such as Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson have executed it and why not Murray.

    Murray could become the biggest sports top story or justify his time in football returning. Answers are to be suggested soon but do not rule out Murray.

    Baseball or football are a wonderful option.

  • Dylan Cease Signs 7 year, $210 million with Toronto Blue Jays

    Cease has signed the dotted line with the Toronto Blue Jays worth 7 years, $210 million. This deal comes with deferrals and eliminates any possibility of the top-arm on the market signing elsewhere.

    Cease had one of the best strikeout rates last year behind Tarik Skubal and Garrett Crochet which made him an intriguing option. There were rumors Cease was always a moving target that had not gone to the Houston Astros during the MLB Trade deadline.

    Instead, Cease declined the $22 million qualifying offer from the San Deigo Padres and was offered more money. The Toronto Blue Jays are being criticized for the move that will see Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer come off the books.

    Bringing in Cease now, will eliminate any stigma around the Toronto Blue Jays that there in it to win now and re-sign Bo Bichette. Kyle Tucker is another option but the wealth of talent has been mostly criticized.

  • Sonny Gray is a Red Sock

    It is official. The first big trade of the MLB offseason took place between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals for Sonny Gray. Gray is a Red Sock.

    This came after news of Gray wanting to spend more time near his hometown of Nashville, TN and play for a contender at 36.

    This is great news for the Red Sox as they have been looking for a veteran starter with some postseason experience to go along with Garrett Crochet. The Cardinals cover $20 million as this begins the vision of Chaim Bloom as St. Louis president of Baseball of Operations.

    Bloom spent part of his time in Boston and is now looking to rectify what has held back the St. Louis organization. This was one of the best returns they could receive possible by shutting down payroll and looking for the ultimate prospects to step up with Brandon Clarke and Richard Fitts in the race.

    It was a smart move by Bloom trading Gray to an AL team as teams will against Boston are going to land priceless.

  • Why Paul DePodesta, Rockies is a Failing Project

    Why Paul DePodesta, Rockies is a Failing Project

    “Moneyball” the movie debuted in 2011 and, I myself, had the privilege to interview Casey Bond about his starring role with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill as Paul DePodesta.

    DePodesta resume does not come lightly. He last worked as a chief stategy officer with the Cleveland Browns for ten years and has never been seen in Major League Baseball since. In fact, what is to say the vertical break and horizontal break logic has fit into a lot of batters’ success these days at the plate.

    So much has changed in the sport of baseball since DePodesta last evolved. DePodesta is a time-making shift as to what the Monfort brothers have in mind. The brothers have always invested in profits more so than winning ball games and investing in the farm system full-term.

    Without DePodesta and Monforts, nobody would be talking about the technology department and infrastructure, the Rockies have a lot to touch on before sustaining DePodesta’s job. Another thing is the pitch clock.

    Many notable peers in baseball respect DePodesta such as Chris Antonetti, Alex Anthopolous, and MIke Elias. Elias, president of Baltimore Orioles baseball operations, did mention DePodesta might have a grasp about player health and performance spacing coming over from the NFL but nothing tells until DePodesta steps in and evolves the core shape of the Colorado Rockies front office.

  • Phillies 2025 MLB Offseason Predictions

    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.
