Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024, pitching to a 3.32 ERA and 1.244 WHIP across 181 2/3 innings. Sánchez was tied with American League Cy Young runner-up Seth Lugo for the sixth most valuable starting pitcher in all of baseball by fWAR.

In 2019 Bryce Harper signed the richest contract in MLB history. He and the Phillies pledged themselves to each other, in sickness and in health, through 2031. Five years later, not only is he living up to the $25 million per year expectations but with free agency contracts trending the way they are it seems the Phillies may have gotten a huge deal.
Aaron Judge will cost the Yankees $360 million through 2031, Shohei Ohtani will cost the Dodgers $700...

Let’s get a little spicy.
The Winter Meetings have come to a close, and with it the ornery bear that is baseball’s offseason will go back into hibernation, only to emerge sparingly with little droplets of information and news. The Phillies did make a move this week, signing Jordan Romano to a one-year deal.
The trade market usually moves at a glacial pace as GMs wait for other options, chiefly the free agents, to leave the board before adjusting their...

Unlike most of his peers, Allard had a few decent outings
The Phillies had a problem with the fifth spot in their rotation in the second half of the season. Taijuan Walker got most of the starts but was flat out awful. In his place, the Phillies tried a bunch of different pitchers, and it felt like each was worse than the last.
Out of that group which included the likes...

A tough April saw Dominguez fall out of favor and out of town
After a 2023 that was below his lofty standards, Seranthony Dominguez came into 2024 hoping to regain the form that saw him dominating hitters throughout the Phillies’ pennant run in 2022.
Unfortunately, it never came to fruition and Dominguez found himself out of Philadelphia at the trade deadline. It was an unfortunate end (for now at least) to a Phillies career that was as frustrating as it...

Might be time to get comfortable with a platoon
The winter meetings are over and the Phillies can at least say they were active. Even though it may have been a single free agent signing, at least they did something.
Imagine being a Braves fan. Losing out Max Fried, seeing Juan Soto come back to the division....
It’s an annual reminder that the winter meetings are merely a few days of the offseason, that it is a slog to get through. The action should pick up...

Did the team get a steal?

The Philadelphia Phillies may not be so eager to trade their All-Star third baseman after all. 3B Alec Bohm has been the hottest name on the trade block for Philadelphia this offseason.

Mike Schmidt was my favorite player.
I was born in 1976 so, no, I don’t remember the beginning of Mike Schmidt’s career. He was in his fourth full season as an established Major League All-Star third baseman and home run champion by the time I was born in September of that year as the Phillies hung out to win their first playoff berth in 26 years. I achieved Phillies and sports...
A list of six teams has emerged to which an eight-time All-Star would be amenable to a trade.

That’s a wrap
The winter meetings are closing today, the Rule 5 draft concluding it. Here are the latest rumors surrounding teams, some tangentially connected to the Phillies.

Where does the power reside in the East?
It’s early, of course, the offseason still closer to its infancy stage than its full born adult stage. We’ve seen the Mets and Phillies make a move during the meetings while the Braves lost an ace and the Nationals and Marlins stand pat. Even with this early of a start to the offseason, where do you think the power resides in the division?
On to the links.
Phillies news: Rob Thomson has talked to Alec Bohm,...He has been floated in trade rumors since the season’s conclusion. But now, according to the Phillies manager, he’s no longer on the trade block.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly interested in trading for St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado.
Whether Harper, who belted 30 home runs last season, moving up in the order would benefit the Phillies or not remains to be seen.
The Phillies have a prime opportunity to tap into the Japanese market by signing pitching phenom Roki Sasaki, who was posted during the MLB winter meetings in Dallas.
