So… he’s probably only going to get platoon-amount playing time after all this. Will he feel disrespected when that happens?

Castellanos will be some combo of DH, 1B and OF for Padres. RF is booked obvs. Signed pending physical.

So… will the Phillies go swimming in these waters or not? With Wheeler, Nola and Painter big question marls, and Walker really more suited as long man/6th starter…

White Sox are having a more interesting offseason than usual. Murakami, Hays, Dominguez. Moving on from Robert, seeing what L. Acuña can do. Not exactly championship stuff, but maybe they climb out of the basement this year?

Is there a Mets fan that can explain why Brandon Nimmo would wave his no-trade clause for this Rangers trade? I’ve had the impression he loved being on the Mets.

Phillies only have 32 players on 40-man. More likely to be interested in Rule 5 this year, even if they sign the 3 FAs.
They pick 29th. But 8 teams currently have full 40 man rosters. 3 more teams w 39 guys. So if those teams all pass, Phillies essentially pick 18th. Still not great.

Phillies can’t box themselves into a long-term-expensive AAV corner. And they can’t spend like the Dodgers.
They need young guys, but Phillies system doesn’t seem to draft and develop great players these days.
So it feels like 2026 could be a reset year, rolling dice on young guys.

At least 50% of the trade ideas written up are absolutely stupid. But this seems viable. Garcia for Castellanos swap. Each has slumped recently and gets a change of scenery and a chance to recover old form. Casty more durable, also more expensive.
Rangers have opportunity to trade for ousted Phillies outfield slugger
Nick Castellanos has been one of the most under-the-radar hitters in the league for more than a decade now. The Philadelphia Phillies have made it known that th

@timkellysports.bsky.social It would be interesting to hear if there are other teams with veteran change-of-scenery candidates that might be a partner for a Castellanos trade that could be a better option than straight release. Maybe an off-season column idea?

They aren’t trading Harper, Turner. Schwarbs unlikely to repeat 2025, but still be VG. Hopefully Turner is similar & Harper regains form. This team can get to playoffs even if JT, Ranger & Bader leave. But they need clutch postseason guys like Ranger. They also need a scary RH bat.

The reason I think Phillies need turnover has more to do with mental state. These guys, now, must feel the pressure and the season/game becomes a slog. It’s not an accident they loosened up when Otto first came, when Bader came, and when they got Wheeler news. It gives them perspective.

Were there REALLY any surprises in that press conference? Really? No. Interesting to hear them confirm stuff, but lets get perspective. They went to playoffs for 4 years straight, after a long drought. We are pissed because of our expectations.

What if the Phillies…. let all the free agents go, traded 4 guys, then replaced them with retired ex-Phillies and rookies? It might be entertaining and we wouldn’t be heart-broken because we won’t expect much.

If you don’t win this game, there won’t be a next game. But coaches are thinking ahead.
If Phillies keep hitting and Sanchie does his thing today, Phillies could force a game 5. They’d need bats to NOT freeze up at CBP again. But also, Dodgers could pitch Ohtani AND Snell 4 innings each in game 5.
