One name that Stark says that Phillies won't be interested in as […]
After his second multiple home run game of 2016 Spring Training, Philadelphia Phillies' third-baseman Maikel Franco now has six home runs in his first 30 at-bats this spring. If he continued on that type of pace in the regular season, he'd hit north of 90 home runs in a 500 at-bat season. You would think […]
Yesterday afternoon, Philadelphia Phillies' outfielder Odubel Herrera posted an image to the application Snapchat that showed the middle finger on his right hand wrapped and had the caption "Mi pobre dediitoo". (As our Frank Klose noted yesterday, that translates to "my poor finger".) Herrera didn't play in today's eventual loss to the Baltimore Orioles, but Meghan […]

A team recently called for Randy Wolf, but Wolf has retired. He finished out a very nice career:133-125 record — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) March 10, 2016 Wolf, 39, appeared in eight games, […]
Embed from Getty Images Late in the off-season, I penned a piece suggesting that because Ryan Howard is well past his prime and doesn't have a hall of fame candidacy, it isn't especially important to figure out whether the Al-Jazeera America report, which alleged he used the performance enhancing drug Delta-2, is correct or […]
Embed from Getty Images Even with a rise in the salary-cap, Chase Daniel's reported three-year/$21 million deal, which includes $12 million guaranteed, seemed like high money for a back-up quarterback.
