Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies face critical offseason decisions at third base and in the rotation. Could Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami be the answer?Connor Thomas breaks down three potential acquisitions for the Phillies, analyzing Murakami as a younger alternative to Alex Bregman despite injury concerns and left-handed bat limitations. The discussion examines local product Zac Gallen's fit in a rotation facing uncertainty with Zack Wheeler's thoracic outlet syndrome and Andrew Painter's development questions. ESPN's Jeff Passan recommends Bregman as the perfect move, but Thomas challenges whether the Phillies can afford to add another aging star alongside Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Aaron Nola while trying to get younger.Key topics include contract projections ranging from 5-year/$110M for Murakami to 6-year deals for Bregman, the team's desperate need for right-handed power, and Dave Dombrowski's flat payroll constraints forcing difficult choices between re-signing Kyle Schwarber or pursuing a star third baseman.Will the Phillies prioritize youth or double down on win-now veterans? 0:00 Intro1:31 Munetaka Murakami: Japanese Third Base Solution4:34 Murakami's Power Numbers and Injury Concerns6:36 Contract Projections and Salary Comparisons9:10 Age Advantage Over Alex Bregman11:43 Zac Gallen: Local Pitcher Free Agent14:47 Right-Handed Pitching Rotation Concerns18:23 Gallen's Local Ties and Realistic Fit20:56 Jeff Passan's Perfect Phillies Acquisition25:01 Alex Bregman: Culture and Impact Bat28:36 Age Concerns with Bregman Signing Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONMLB to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.PrizePicks — Run Your Game.Click Link Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONMLBGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.

The Philadelphia Phillies explore major infield upgrades as free agency looms. Could Bo Bichette or Alex Bregman reshape the roster for a championship run?Connor Thomas analyzes two premium free agent targets for the Philadelphia Phillies' infield reconstruction.
