Andrea Castillo+FollowPhilly’s Deadline Dilemma: No Bat, No Glory?Word on the street is the Fightins might skip adding a big bat at the deadline, focusing only on bullpen arms. With the Mets breathing down our necks, is this really the time to play it safe? Schwarbs and Trea are carrying the offense, but another righty slugger could be the missing piece. If Dombrowski passes on a hitter, will it cost us the NL East? Who do you want to see in red pinstripes? #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell10Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowBohm Back in the Lineup—Right Call?After taking a nasty shot to the ribs against the Padres, the Phillies’ hot-corner man, Alec Bohm, is back in the cleanup spot just in time for a crucial stretch. Skipper Rob Thomson gave him a game off to heal, but with the Fightins barely holding off the Mets in the NL East, Bohm’s bat is needed now more than ever. Did the Phils rush him back, or is this the spark they need to keep the Mets at bay? #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell00Share
jillian59+FollowPhillies Bullpen Over Bats at Deadline?Looks like the Fightins are gearing up for a bullpen overhaul instead of chasing a big bat at the trade deadline. According to Matt Gelb, the Phils won’t be landing that right-handed slugger fans have been dreaming about—think more power arms than power hitters. With the Wheeler-Suarez-Sanchez trio dominating, it’s the leaky pen that could make or break Red October. Disappointing? Maybe. But if the Shark Tank 2.0 gets built, we might just forget about missing out on a new center fielder. #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell01Share
Cassandra Reed+FollowWill the Phils Go All-In for Clase?With the Fightins clinging to the NL East lead, bullpen woes are the talk of the town. Dombrowski’s rumored willingness to deal top prospects for a lights-out closer like Emmanuel Clase has fans buzzing. Clase’s nasty stuff could be the missing piece, but is giving up Justin Crawford too steep? This move could spark a new rivalry with the Guardians and shake up the playoff race. Would you pull the trigger? #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowCrawford Call-Up: Phillies’ Big Gamble?Looks like the Fightins might shake things up by promoting Justin Crawford instead of swinging a trade for a righty bat. With Kepler’s struggles and Marsh’s inconsistency, the front office could be betting on their No. 3 prospect to spark the lineup. Crawford’s hitting .331 in Triple-A, but can he handle center field in Philly? Would you rather see Marsh or Kepler moved if this happens? Let’s hear your takes on this potential outfield shuffle! #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell1829Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowCould Bader Be Philly’s Missing Piece?Fellow Phils fans, is Harrison Bader the answer in center field? Trevor Plouffe just predicted on 'Talkin’ Baseball' that the Phillies might trade for the Twins’ Gold Glove outfielder before the deadline. Bader’s got the glove, postseason experience, and his bat’s heating up (11 HR, 109 OPS+). With our outfield offense lagging, could this move finally fill the biggest hole in our lineup? Would Bader’s swagger fit in Philly? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell21Share
Maria Chavez+FollowShould the Phils Gamble on La Pantera?Rumors are heating up that the Phillies might make a move for Luis Robert Jr. (aka “La Pantera”) before the trade deadline. Even though he’s had a rough year at the plate, his upside is huge—and with the Phils’ outfield bats lagging, could this be the spark we need for a deep playoff run? Would you roll the dice on a struggling former All-Star, or is the price too steep? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell12Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowMick Abel’s Hot Streak: Trade Bait or Future Ace?Did you catch Mick Abel’s near-no-no for the IronPigs? The Phillies’ top arm just snagged International League Pitcher of the Week, and his timing couldn’t be better. With the Fightins barely ahead of the Mets, Abel’s resurgence could be the key to landing a lockdown closer like Clase or Durán at the deadline. Do you think the Phils should cash in Abel’s rising stock, or is he too valuable to let go? Let’s talk trade chips and World Series dreams! #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowPhillies’ Rookie Arms: Fast-Track to October?Philly fans, are we about to see Gage “No-Hit” Wood or Cade “KO” Obermueller in red pinstripes before we know it? ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel thinks so, calling both college arms potential bullpen boosts THIS season—maybe even a secret weapon for a playoff push. Wood’s College World Series no-hitter still gives me chills, and Obermueller’s slider/fastball combo is pure filth. Risky to rush ‘em, but could Dombrowski really skip the trade market and roll with the rookies? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowPhillies Nab Undrafted Power Bat HumphreysDid the Phils just steal a future star? Nate Humphreys, fresh off a monster .353/17 HR season at Dallas Baptist, is headed to Philly after going undrafted. This lefty outfielder’s college journey was a rollercoaster, but he finished strong and flashed both pop and speed (21 steals). He even held down centerfield the last two years. Could Humphreys be the next underdog to make noise in the Show? Let’s hear your takes, Phils fans! #Sports #Baseball #RingTheBell10Share
