Never a doubt!
Rob Thomson confirmed that Jose Alvarado will re-join the #Phillies once his suspension is complete on 8/19.

He will begin a rehab assignment in Lehigh Valley soon.

Aaron Nola had a promising rehab start for Lehigh Valley.

3 IP, 3 H, 0 R/ER, 1 BB, 3 K

Fastball velocity sat around 90 mph.

Rob Thomson says they want Johan Rojas to play some LF and RF in Lehigh Valley.

The team wants Justin Crawford to remain the primary CF, possibly a hint towards their plan in the major leagues.

Per Todd Zolecki, Rob Thomson happily gave up No. 59 to Jhoan Duran and will be switching to No. 49.

Micah Parsons has requested a trade.

The #Phillies lineup today vs. Detroit:

Turner 6
Schwarber DH
Harper 3
Realmuto 2
Castellanos 9
Marsh 8
Kepler 7
Sosa 5
Stott 4

Suárez LHP

Max Kepler (.655 OPS vs. RHP) is starting over Harrison Bader (.779 OPS)

Dave Dombrowski said Jhoan Duran and Harrison Bader will join the team tonight.

If that’s the case, the #Phillies will need to clear two spots on their active roster before the game.

I expect Weston Wilson and one of Seth Johnson or Alan Rangel to be optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley.

The #Phillies are 15-13 against the Detroit Tigers all-time.

Their last 10 series:
2024 — 2-1 (A)
2023 — 3-0 (H)
2019 — 1-1 (H), 2-0 (A)
2016 — 1-2 (A)
2013 — 0-3 (A)
2007 — 1-2 (H)
2004 — 1-2 (H)
2002 — 3-0 (A)
1997 — 1-2 (A)

The Tigers (64-46) come into CBP this weekend T-1st in the AL.

Literally, it refers to each game following Game 81—the Phillies are 14-13.

Statistically, it begins after the All-Star break in mid-July—the Phillies are 6-6.

I like to believe the “second half” kicks off after the trade deadline.

The #Phillies have added some reinforcements. Let’s play ball!

With an additional $20 million, the Phillies could sign a bat that better fits their needs and possibly another arm.

Outfield options include more disciplined hitters Jurickson Profar and Anthony Santander.

Left-hander Tanner Scott is still available or re-sign Jeff Hoffman.

Trading Castellanos would be bittersweet. In just three seasons, Castellanos has embraced the city and created countless postseason memories. However, a trade would create roster flexibility for 2025 and 2026 that the team simply can’t ignore.
December 18, 2024 at 10:10 PM
While Castellanos dramatically improved his strikeout rate in 2024, his chase and whiff rates remained abysmal. All that combined with a low walk rate creates an incredibly flawed hitter.

His counting stats will fluctuate from year to year, but his approach will never change.
December 18, 2024 at 10:10 PM
Taijuan Walker would be ideal, but a salary dump would require prospect capital that the Phillies wouldn’t entertain. That brings us to Nick Castellanos. As polarizing a player as they come, Castellanos is set to make $40 million over the next two seasons. That’s a lot of money.
December 18, 2024 at 10:10 PM
Alec Bohm’s name has been thrown around in trade rumors since their postseason exit. The Phillies claim they want to shake up the lineup, but Bohm is cost effective and the exact type of hitter that the Phillies need. Unloading a larger contract should be the team’s focus.
December 18, 2024 at 10:10 PM
The #Phillies have been awfully quiet thus far and I believe it’s pretty clear as to why (a thread):

Entering their fourth consecutive season over the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT), they must pay an additional 50% of every dollar they spend over the $241 million threshold.
