Thumbs Up or Down? Your Phillies Trade Proposals Dec 06, 2024

Show notes

We think the Phillies are going to make a trade or two before spring training. But while we wait for them to strike, we asked you for your Phillies trade ideas before next week's Winter Meetings in Dallas.

We got a bunch!

You made offers for Garrett Crochet, Kyle Tucker, Devin Williams, Ryan Helsley, Sandy Alcántara and more! We discussed them, then explained why the Phillies would or would not make those trades. Ruben then picked his favorite trade proposal, and that person won a Phillies Show t-shirt!

No Soto, No Sh— Dec 05, 2024

Show notes

Barring a miracle, Juan Soto isn’t signing with the Phillies.

He has received multiple $600 million offers, according to Fair Territory’s Ken Rosenthal. Soto could make a decision before the end of next week’s Winter Meetings in Dallas. We said on this show last week that the Phillies had not met with Soto. We even wondered if an offer would be made. It turns out, the Phillies have not made an offer.

None of this should come as a surprise. The Phillies were never considered serious suitors for Soto, despite speculation. Still, we talk about Soto’s situation and what comes next for the Phillies.

Phillies Holiday Shopping Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

Things are finally heating up on the Hot Stove. Several teams in recent days have signed free agent starting pitchers, including the Dodgers and Blake Snell.

The Phillies have been quiet, but it can’t last forever. Ruben, Jim and Todd answer your Hot Stove questions, including ones about Alec Bohm, Alex Bregman, the Phillies’ next closer – how about Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley? -- and more.

Happy Soto-Giving Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

It’s Thanksgiving Week, which means the holidays are here.

Is there any chance that Juan Soto signs with the Phillies? They have not met yet with Soto, but there are expectations they will. There is a report that the Phils have not communicated with Scott Boras, who is Soto’s agent. We hear otherwise. Regardless, the Phillies’ chances at signing Soto remains a longshot.

Ruben, Jim and Todd get into the holiday spirit by talking about what they’re thankful for in the game of baseball.

Todd will be signing copies of “Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay” on Saturday, November 20 from noon to 2 p.m. at the New Era Phillies Team Store at Citizens Bank Park. Stop by!

If you can’t make it, Todd also signs personalized copies of “Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay at bytoddzolecki.com.

New Phillies farm director Luke Murton joins the show Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

Luke Murton is the Phillies’ new player development director, following Preston Mattingly’s recent promotion to GM.

Murton spent the past two years as the Minor League’s hitting development director, but he also split his team scouting amateur players that he thought would be good to bring into the system. One of those players was top prospect Aidan Miller. Murton talks about his journey from Georgia Teach to Yankees minor leaguer to scout with the Giants and Padres to Phils’ farm director.

He talks about his hitting and pitching philosophies, top prospects like Miller and Justin Crawford and more.

The holidays are here! Need a gift for the Phillies fan in your life? Todd is signing personalized copies of “Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay at bytoddzolecki.com.

Is NL Cy Young-runner up Zack Wheeler a Hall of Famer? Nov 22, 2024

Show notes

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler finished second for NL Cy Young for the second time in the four years.

This year, he finished behind Atlanta’s Chris Sale.

We discuss the vote, but also dig into an interesting story by MLB.com’s Mike Petriello, who suggests Wheeler is on a Hall of Fame track anyway. He needs a few more dominant years to put him into serious contention, but there is a strong argument to be made.

We also discuss Friday night’s non-tender deadline. Is Austin Hays non-tendered?

There’s some Juan Soto and Roki Sasaki talk and 40-man roster stuff, too!

Which Phillies have the most trade value? Nov 19, 2024

Show notes

Dave Dombrowski said after the NLDS that “sometimes you trade good players for good players.” Ever since, Phillies fans have wondered who Dombrowski might trade to help the Phils win the 2025 World Series?

Ruben, Jim and Todd spend the episode discussing the players who have the most trade value for other teams, including Alec Bohm, Ranger Suárez, Bryson Stott and top prospects like Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller and Justin Crawford.

Are Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh, Johan Rojas and others in the conversation, too? Yes, they are.

Jayson Werth talks Belmont Stakes, horses, Phillies and more Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

Jayson Werth is not only a 2008 World Series champion, but he’s a Belmont Stakes champion.

His horse Dornoch won the Belmont this summer. It was such an unbelievable experience that Werth is spreading the word about horse racing, showing people how they can get involved in it, too.

You can follow Werth’s horse-racing teams on Instagram at @twoeightracing and @iconracinglfg

Werth talked to Ruben, Jim and Todd about the Belmont and his love for the sport. But he also talked plenty of baseball, including former teammates Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Chase Utley, what it’s like winning in Philadelphia, resurrecting his baseball career in Philadelphia and more!

Soto Unlikely, What About Sasaki? Nov 11, 2024

Show notes

John Middleton said Friday at Penn that “we’ll probably not win” the Juan Soto sweepstakes. It’s not a surprise, but it was as candid as anybody had been in talking about the Phillies’ chances to sign the superstar outfielder.

So, the Phillies don’t expect to sign Soto. Do they have any chance at signing Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki? His team announced they will post him for MLB teams, but everybody considers West Coast teams like the Dodgers, Giants and Padres to have a huge advantage over the Phils, who have not signed a Japanese player direct from Japan in their history.

The guys also talk about the Phillies’ front office shake up and more.

It Sounds Like A Trade is Coming Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

Dave Dombrowski keeps saying the Phillies are “open minded” this offseason. He said it last month following the Phillies’ early exit in the NLDS. He said it a few more times this week at the GM Meetings in San Antonio.

“We need to be more open minded about possible moves.”

Ruben, Jim and Todd think Dombrowski is telling everybody that he is going to make a trade. Or two.

The guys talk about Dombrowski’s other comments at the GM Meetings, plus answer your questions, including ones about Alex Bregman, Mike Trout, Devin Williams, Steven Kwan, Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Walker Buehler and more.
