Tyrese Maxey has looked amazing thus far this preseason. In two halves of action, Maxey has 41 points while shooting 71% from the field. If Maxey can take this kind of leap now in his third year that would be incredible, and the Sixers would have to start thinking about an extension. After being the 21st pick in the 2020 …
Philadelphia Phillies’ fans rejoiced on Tuesday when it was announced that the Best Catcher in Baseball was re-signing with the team. J.T. Realmuto has agreed to a five-year, $115.5 million contract, setting a record for AAV for a catcher at $23.1 million. One of the most excited might be Bryce Harper. It was a move a long time coming, really since 2019, when …
The 2020 Phillies’ season did not go according to plan. To put it bluntly, it was a disaster. Right now there’s a lot of talk about re-signing J.T. Realmuto, the demotion of General Manager Matt Klentak, and how to fix the worst bullpen in baseball. If there’s one thing we can count on, it’s that Bryce Harper is going to continue being vocal …
Newly signed Sixers’ head coach Doc Rivers will soon be eyeing up the upcoming crop of free agents to bring in for next season. The luxury of quickly filling a coaching vacancy is that the team can focus on the season ahead much sooner, and there may be no more important facet of the upcoming season for the Sixers than …
Jack Sanford. Dick Allen. Scott Rolen. Ryan Howard. Alec Bohm? If he keeps playing how he has been, Bohm has a chance to join those other four as the only Philadelphia Phillies to win the Rookie of the Year award. The former number three pick in the 2018 draft is having a fantastic start to his big league career. Through his first …
Here’s something to consider – the Philadelphia Phillies do not re-sign J.T. Realmuto this offseason, losing the Best Catcher in Baseball. As horrifying as that is to think about, and as dumb of a non-move as that would be, it’s a very real possibility. And while Realmuto seems willing to engage in contract talks during the season, the Phillies aren’t doing their part. …
With the NBA’s new Orlando Bubble Plan, teams are allowed to expand their rosters to 17 players compared to the normal 15. Philadelphia has taken advantage of this by signing former Dallas Maverick Ryan Broekhoff. The Australian three-point specialist spent a year and a half with the Mavericks, being waived on February 11 this year. With a chance to add …
In February of 2019, when the Phillies traded with the Miami Marlins for catcher J.T. Realmuto, Phillies fans were ecstatic for what they were getting. After having arguably the best season of his career in 2019 – .275/.328/.493 with 25 home runs, 83 RBI, 92 runs, 43 caught stealing, a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger – Realmuto firmly cemented himself as …
It’s that time of year when the offseason rumor mill is swirling and the talking heads on TV are trying to fill hours of content with speculation and hypothetical situations. One situation that was proposed by Joel Sherman on MLB Network, between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs, is quite the doozy. In it, the Phillies receive star third …
The Philadelphia Phillies have a lot of holes to fill this offseason. A starting pitcher or two. A few bullpen pieces. Third base. Second base. Center field. But do they really need that last one? Perhaps the answer to their center field problems could already be in the house. No, not Odubel Herrera. He’s on his way out, one way …
