Philadelphia Phillies 2024 Baseball Season

[Retroram52]

Tomorrow, February 14th, Position players for the Phillies will report to begin the 2024 Season. The Phillies tried to add some pitching but have not really moved the needle all that significantly. They won't go back to the WS unless they significantly get some more pitching help. It is just that simple. The 2024 season begins.

Pitchers and Catchers day and the 2024 season is underway.

Interesting pickup. Good utility guy. He can play some outfield too. Seems like a good deal for 8 mil. one year.

Phillies add relief pitchers Austin Brice and Rica Pinto to their minor league teams. Talk about dumpster dives........

I guess you gotta fill the roster somehow though.

I do like the additions of Merrifield and Dahl.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep Cedrique, the Phillies are back to dumpster-diving and the pattern continues to persist.

Phillies add a couple of interesting players on minor-league deals

The Phillies brought in a former All-Star outfielder and a pitcher coming off a strong run in the Caribbean Series.

Raving reviews coming from some newbie players most notably Merrifield on the culture of the Phillies. We take the win over the BJ's to open the Grapefruit League Preseason.

Good time to get these three into the swing of the preseason.

The line-up today was a bunch of regular season starters and they looked in mid-season form. Harper was sending them deep. Lots of fun to watch.

A couple key Phillies go deep, Harper shines defensively in spring debut

The Phillies' key hitters were up to the test of upper-90s velocity in February, but it was Bryce Harper's first base defense that stood out most in his spring training debut.

Apparently Darick Hall wants back in the show.

The opportunity for playing time isn't nearly the same for Darick Hall as it was a year ago at this time, but he still thinks there's a place for him on the Phillies' roster.

What a blockbuster Phillies-Astros trade for Kyle Tucker would actually look like

The Astros may be approaching an inflection point soon, one that might result in them trading away Kyle Tucker. The Phillies might be a logical trade partner.

I hope they do and he ends-up in Phildelphia!

Phillies interested in Blake Snell on a short-term deal, per report, but would it make sense?

The Phillies already have a strong rotation heading into the 2024 season

www.cbssports.com

Snell is incredibly inconsistent, and he's never played in a hitter friendly park like CBP, but if you can get him for one year then what the hell. It's worth a shot.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Cedrique. Apparently the Phil's FO has changed the culture (in conjunction with coaches and players) with the organization as the newbies have been testifying to that fact and more great players want to come to the Phillies and people like Harper want to retire a Phillie! This is good news!!
