The Phillies smoked the Mets in the NL East last year, winning the division by 13 games. But the Mets won the offseason, especially when they stunned the Phils and signed Bo Bichette. So, who’s better? We go position by position through the Phillies and Mets lineups, including the rotation and bullpen: Catcher: Francisco Alvarez vs. J.T. Realmuto First base: Jorge Polanco vs. Bryce Harper Second base: Marcus Semien vs. Bryson Stott Third base: Bo Bichette vs. Alec Bohm Shortstop: Francisco Lindor vs. Trea Turner Left field: Carson Begne/Tyrone Taylor vs. Brandon Marsh/Otto Kemp Center field: Luis Robert Jr vs. Justin Crawford Right field: Juan Soto vs. Adolis García RIP Dan McQuade.

If you’ve been listening to the show the past several weeks, you know we’ve been saying Harrison Bader almost certainly wouldn’t be returning to the Phillies in 2026. Sure enough, he just agreed to a two-year, $20.5 million deal with the Giants. So what’s the Phillies’ outfield going to be? Is there any chance the Phils sign another outfielder before camp opens next month? We discuss Bader, the Phillies’ outfield situation, remaining free agents on the market and non-roster invitees coming to camp. Love the show?

We asked you for your Phillies questions, and by and large they fit into three buckets: Are the Phillies really content with their offseason, like Dave Dombrowski said. How concerned should fans be about the Phillies’ outfield? How concerned should fans be about the Phillies’ starting pitching depth? Thanks for the questions.

What a week for the Phillies. They went to sleep on Thursday thinking they were signing Bo Bichette, who stunningly signed a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets on Friday. The Phillies quickly improved their offer to J.T. Realmuto, who thought his Phillies career was over. But Realmuto is back, and Dave Dombrowski said he is “content” with where they are as a team. We dig into a messy situation. Love the 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 might not be running it back after all. They are having a virtual meeting on Monday with Bo Bichette. We discuss: Why the Phillies jumped into the Bichette sweepstakes. The Phillies’ chances to sign Bichette, including the Phils’ top competition. What does this mean for J.T. Realmuto? What does this mean for Alec Bohm?

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.

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.

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!
