The Phillies Show

What the hell happened? The Phillies offered Bo Bichette a seven-year, $200 million contract on Thursday. They thought they had him. Then – poof – he’s gone. Bichette stunned everybody in baseball, when he accepted a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets instead. The Phillies followed the massive disappointment by signing J.T. Realmuto to a three-year, $45 million deal. What happened with Bichette? What do we think about the Realmuto deal? What comes next? Love the show?

The Phillies’ pursuit of Bo Bichette is heating up. They have talked at least twice this week, including Monday’s ballyhooed Zoom. The Phillies see a path to bringing Bichette to Philadelphia, but several obstacles remain. First, they must outbid the Dodgers, Yankees, Blue Jays, Red Sox and any “mystery” teams. Second, they must shed salary. That means trading Alec Bohm’s $10.2 million contract. That means finding an alternative for J.T. Realmuto. But is there a way the Phillies could sign both? We discuss all the angles in our latest episode. Love the show?

The Phillies have hired Don Mattingly to be their bench coach in 2026. We love the hire. But how does it help the Phillies? Well, of course, it could help their late-game decision making. But if you read between the lines, Phillies manager Rob Thomson hinted that Mattingly’s star power should bring increased credibility to the coaching staff. The Phillies are trying to tighten up things, and they believe Mattingly should help. We dig into J.T. Realmuto’s free agency. We talk about the chance Bo Bichette signs with the Phillies, too.

The Phillies had a busy week last week:They signed Adolis Garcia to a one-year, $10 million contract on Tuesday.Phillies assistant general manager Ani Kilambi was named Nationals GM on Wednesday.The Phils signed Brad Keller to a two-year, $22 million deal on Thursday.They traded Matt Strahm to the Royals on Friday for Jonathan Bowlan.They traded a Minor League prospect to the Diamondbacks on Friday for Kyle Backhus.Why did the Phillies trade Strahm? It cleared payroll, for sure. But Strahm’s relationship with the Phillies had soured, too. What is the Phillies’ payroll situation right now? And where do things stand with J.T. Realmuto? What happens if he doesn’t sign?Get your holiday gifts here! Phillies Show merchandise at ThePhilliesShowShop.com!

The Phillies on Monday agreed to a one-year, $10 million contract with free-agent right fielder Adolis Garcia.He will be Nick Castellanos’ replacement in right field, which should not surprise anybody who has been watching and listening to the show since mid-October. We’ve been saying for weeks that Castellanos won’t be back. But what about Harrison Bader? Does this signal the end of his chances to rejoin the Phillies?We discuss Garcia, Bader, Castellanos and what’s been going on with the Mets and Braves in the NL East.Download Cash App Today: capl.onelink.me/vFut/hap8idx8 #CashAppPod.

Kyle Schwarber on Tuesday signed a five-year, $150 million contract with the Phillies.We discuss how it went down and why we like the deal. But we also discuss what’s next for the Phils. Is it J.T. Realmuto? Is it a reliever? Can they still go after Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette and Cody Bellinger?Get your holiday gifts here! Phillies Show merchandise at ThePhilliesShowShop.com!

We have a feeling about Kyle Schwarber.Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski does, too. He used the word “optimism” on Monday regarding the Phillies’ pursuit of Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto. Jim heard that Schwarber could make a decision before the end of the week. Todd heard that Schwarber thinks something with the Phillies will get done.We talk about Don Mattingly being the Phils’ new bench coach, Nick Castellanos getting traded and more.Get your holiday gifts here!

Everything hinges on Kyle Schwarber.It can be said for the Phillies, and so many other teams at the Winter Meetings. Dribs and drabs of interest in Schwarber continue to make news, with Ken Rosenthal recently reporting that the Pirates have made a four-year offer for the slugging DH. But we still think Schwarber is headed back to Philadelphia. We explain why.But what if Schwarber leaves? We offer some creative ways the Phillies can make up for it.And does Jeff Kent’s induction into the Hall of Fame help Chase Utley’s chances?Get your holiday gifts here!

The Winter Meetings are next week in Orlando, Fla., where magical things can happen.Ranger Suárez could have a magical winter, following Dylan Cease’s seven-year $210 million contract with the Blue Jays. Suárez is arguably the best starting pitcher remaining in free agency, unless Framber Valdez is more your speed.Kyle Schwarber and J.T Realmuto remain free agents. We discuss the latest, which included an unexpected scenario from Ruben – Schwarber and Realmuto to the Reds? He thinks it would make sense for the Reds. It would, but do they have the money to do it?This holiday, give your loved ones the only gift that keeps on giving — health.

If you thought the Phillies and Kyle Schwarber would sign a multiyear contract shortly after free agency started, think again.We still think Schwarber will re-sign with the Phillies, but right now his agency is trying to maximize his value -- as they should. That means drawn-out negotiations, and maybe even a little frustration on the Phillies’ end. It’s rally no surprise. Schwarber had a massive 2025, leading the NL in home runs and RBIs and finishing second for NL MVP. He needs to cash in on this deal. But again, we think the roads point to Schwarber’s return to Philly.We talk about recent moves the Mets and Braves have made in the NL East and more.Take advantage of Ridge’s Biggest Sale of the Year and GET UP TO 47% OFF by going to Ridge.com/FOUL #RidgepodGo to MeUndies.com/foul and enter promo code foul for up to 50% off!Support The Phillies Show!

The Hot Stove is on a low simmer with Thanksgiving fast approaching.But there are interesting reports out there. How about the Pirates pursuing Kyle Schwarber?

The GM Meetings wrapped up this week in Las Vegas. Dave Dombrowski spoke about the team’s outfield situation, including what’s happening in center field, Nick Castellanos’ future with the team and more. We thought the most interesting news was word that Twins star Byron Buxton might be willing to waive his no-trade clause, if Minnesota continues to sell this offseason.We’d love Buxton in the Phillies’ lineup.But if not Buxton, who?
