Inside R Phillies

Jeremy and Joe react to reports that the Phillies have a meeting set with Bo Bichette and how that could force major roster moves that we have wanted for a long time. How will they handle the payroll crunch?

They also cover Bryce Harper’s controversial shirt, the signing of Tucker Davidson from the KBO for pitching depth, and talk about how arbitration figures will shape offseason decisions.

We hope that everyone enjoyed their holidays! Inside R Phillies is back, even though the Phillies have been quiet. Zach Pop has signed a major league deal with the Phillies to join their bullpen, and the Phillies plans on the major Japanese players has been made clear - note that this was recorded before Okamoto signed on 1/3, what we say is still relevant though!

After that, Jeremy and Joe go surfing on random Baseball Reference pages, with lots of interesting discussions coming up. Hopefully you all enjoyed this new segment, please let us know!

This has been an active week for the Phillies! Matt Strahm is out, and Brad Keller is in. How does this change the bullpen going into 2026, and did the Phillies make the right choice? Also, there are rumors circulating that the Phillies are considering catching options that are not JT Realmuto. Do we believe these rumors, and what else could the Phillies do?

This may have been a quiet week for the Phillies, but a more exciting one likely awaits. With it being rumored that Kyle Schwarber will sign his next contract during next week's Winter Meetings, we discuss how much we really want him back, and how we expect the week to go. The Hall of Fame votes are starting to trickle in, and there's lots of Phillies connections on the ballot this year. The Nationals and Mariners made an interesting trade on Saturday... Should the Phillies have been in on it? Also, Bryce Harper made an interesting internet post that...

As we await the Winter Meetings, things remain slow across the MLB landscape. Join us today for a recap of the last week of baseball, including the Brandon Nimmo/Marcus Semien trade, and Dylan Cease's signing with Toronto. What does this mean for the Phillies? Later in the episode, we'll discuss rules that we'd like to see changed in MLB's offseason structure. Should we go back to Type A free agents?

Bryan De La Cruz signed a minor league contract with the Phillies that comes with a Spring Training invitation. Is he better than Nick Castellanos? All of that, and more, on today's episode!

The Phillies have done it! Despite being predicted to finish in 3rd place in the NL East, they have won the division in dominant fashion. They have the largest division lead in baseball, and after winning 2/3 against the Dodgers, are very close to clinching a bye. This team looks to be firing on all cylinders.

We thought the Mariners series was going to be the peak of this regular season... before the Phillies swept the Mets over 4 games in Philadelphia, solidifying themselves as the extraordinarily likely favorites to win the NL East, and sending the Mets home to pitch against Jacob DeGrom, with their season on the line. Listen for pure vibes and happiness.

The Phillies had a series full of optimism up until the last several innings of Sunday's game, where Trea Turner injured his hamstring after running out a ground ball. This injury could change the complexion of the season, but be sure to listen to find out our takes. A big series against the Mets starts tomorrow as well.

The Phillies went on the road this week to play baseball's best team, the Milwaukee Brewers. In a well played series all around, the Phillies came out on top by winning 2/3, including what might've been the game of the year on Labor Day. Not everything is roses, however, as Aaron Nola struggled again in a loss on Wednesday night. However, it's hard to not feel pretty great about this team right now.

Hi everyone! The Phillies won 3/4 against the Braves in Philadelphia this weekend. After an offensive explosion on Thursday night, the offense disappeared for the rest of the series.

Friend of the podcast, Garrett Stubbs, will be getting added to the major league roster tomorrow. All of that and more on tonight's episode!

The Phillies went to Cincinnati this week and lost 2 of 3, in a series that they only scored in two innings. Nick Castellanos is continuing to struggle hard, and Ranger Suarez looks to be having his yearly breakdown towards the end of the season, but guest u/shouldhavekeptgiles and I can't help but be mostly positive about the team still. Listen to this podcast to learn why, and answer a listener question about Zack Wheeler.

The Phillies took 2/3 from the Baltimore Orioles in a 3 game set where the offense scored 19 runs. However, the pitching staff may be in trouble. Zack Wheeler's shoulder is giving him problems, and Ranger Suarez and Jesus Luzardo continue to be questionable. Taijuan Walker is still in the rotation too. What do we think about what's going on, and what have we learned about the new outfield configuration since the ASB? Listen to tonight's episode with sjphilsphan for all of that, and more!

This wasn't how we wanted this series to go. The Angels couldn't stop scoring, as they took 2/3 from the Phillies in Philadelphia. The Phillies at least seem to have Bryce Harper back. David Robertson was signed, and Alec Bohm got placed on the IL with a fractured rib. How will these transactions impact the team and how are we thinking about the team in general right now?

How did the series go, and how are we feeling now that the Phillies have officially taken the division lead? Bryce Harper is still hurt and the story keeps changing, what is going on with him?

Hello, and welcome to the Inside R Phillies podcast! Today for our inaugural episode, I talked about Mick Abel, his start to his major league career, and where he will end up after the trade deadline. The Phillies also had some interesting changes to how they managed games today, with Nick Castellanos getting subbed out for a defensive replacement, and Orion Kerkering picking up his first major league save. Also, how will Rafael Devers getting traded impact the Phillies?
