The Philadelphia Phillies have reached an agreement with former Toronto Blue Jays coach Don Mattingly to serve as their bench coach for the 2026 season. The veteran coach has a great relationship with manager Rob Thomson, and the move unites Mattingly with his son, Preston Mattingly, who is the Phillies' General Manager.

The rumors circulating around Phillies relief pitcher Matt Strahm were proven true earlier this morning, as the Phillies dealt the veteran left-hander to Kansas City in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jonathan Bowlan . Bowlan, 29, posted a 3.86 ERA in 44.1 innings last year with 17 free passes and 46 k's.

The Phightin’s bullpen is getting a major boost heading into the 2026 season.  The Phillies have reached an agreement with free-agent right-handed reliever Brad Keller on a two-year, $22 million deal pending a physical, and suddenly the back end of the pen looks really, really good. Keller was outstanding with the Cubs last season, posting a 2.07 ERA in just under 70 innings, striking out 75 while walking only 22. With the Phillies picking up José Alvarado’s 2026 club optio

All right, J.T. - let’s stop messing around and finish this. Coming into this offseason, I had two non-negotiables: Schwarber and Realmuto. Schwarber’s back. Sweet. Now get the other one done. Because if the Phillies are serious about winning, actually winning , they cannot let J.T. Realmuto walk. Yes, the bat isn’t what it used to be. That’s not the point. Realmuto is awesome with the pitching staff, one of the best in baseball at controlling the running game, and a

The Phillies inked Adolis García to a one-year, $10 million deal, installing the former Ranger in right field and all but ending Nick Castellanos’ tenure in Philadelphia. García is most remembered for his massive 2023 postseason run with Texas, where he crushed eight home runs and helped carry the Rangers through October.

Prepare the floats, Philadelphia! KYLE IS HOME! The Phillies and Kyle Schwarber have officially agreed to a 5-year, $150 million deal, locking in the the best longball hitter in the National League for the long haul. Schwarber has become more than a slugger in Philly- he embodies what it means to be “one of us,” and he belongs in Citizens Bank Park as much as the Liberty Bell belongs in Old City. With over 45 Schwarbombs last season, Schwarber racked up 260 MVP voting points,

Kyle Schwarber needs to come back home, and I'm tired of reading about Kyle to the Reds. Who do the Reds think they are? I don't care if Kyle grew up outside of Cincy. The Reds acting like they’re entitled to our guy just because of a ZIP code pisses me off. In case you have forgotten their pathetic courtship tour last August, I haven't. When the Phils visited the Reds this past August, the Reds didn't just flirt with Kyle, they practically tried to run off with our senior pr
