After four games, one of the most impressive performances for the Phillies came from Jesús Luzardo this past weekend.

Much of the success from his first outing stemmed from a new pitch that was added to his arsenal.

Even though Willy Adames wasn’t likely a fit for the Phillies this offseason, his signing could have implications on the team’s plans for the rest of the winter.

Alec Bohm’s fate all but sealed by Giants’ big Willy Adames signing
Willy Adames' signing with the San Francisco Giants may affect the Phillies' offseason trade plans and make them think twice about trading Alec Bohm.

Even if the Phillies were to land Garrett Crochet prior to the start of the 2025 season, they will likely have to wait out the free agent market before the White Sox are willing to deal their young star pitcher.

It sounds like Phillies will have to wait if they really want a Garrett Crochet trade
The White Sox may not be in any rush to deal starting pitcher Garrett Crochet until closer to spring training.

It's rumored that the Phillies could be interested in bringing in Willy Adames to play third base if Alec Bohm is dealt this offseason.

Would not mind the Phillies taking a look at him.

Chris Sale gets the NL Cy Young and deservedly so.

But man, Zack Wheeler has been so good since joining the Phillies. He needs to get his soon. Just one of the most consistent pitchers in the game over the past few years.

Interesting points made here. Given the change in the starting pitching landscape, voters will have to figure which metrics are most valuable for HOF induction.
As we consider the Cy Young ballot tonight, consider this, too: Zack Wheeler, who has 103 wins, might just be what a Hall of Fame starting pitcher looks like now -- no matter if that's not what Bob Gibson or Walter Johnson looked like.

The Sixers haven’t had a season/offseason without something strange or abnormal happening since like 2010.

From yesterday: The Flyers have been exciting all season. They are moving up in the standings after an impressive road trip.

Philly sports are more fun when the Flyers are competitive. It’s time to bring them back into the conversation.

The Flyers have a strong goaltending duo in Sam Ersson and Carter Hart.

Despite taking the loss last night against the Predators, Ersson has been a formidable backup after some early season struggles.

This current group of Phillies likes playing for Rob Thomson. Does his extension signal the best window for a championship with much of the current roster intact?

The Phillies just re-signed Aaron Nola to a long-term extension. The front office has made it clear they’d like to do the same with Zack Wheeler.

What might it take to get that done?
