The Phillies appear to be taking a stance that is making it even clearer that the Phillies and Carlos Ruiz will end their long relationship. Amaro told Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News that he did not want to miss out on other players while he waits for Ruiz to make a decision in […]
Pete Vuckovich (right) with Wesley Snipes in the movie Major League The Phillies keep striking out looking for a pitching coach. Of the three top candidates: Bryan Price became the Cincinnati Reds' manager. Roger McDowell returned to the Atlanta Braves. Jim Benedict flat out said no. So, now what? The Phillies have reportedly considered the following: […]
Scott Freedman, Courtesy Indiana University I am a couple days behind reflecting on this, but the Phillies announced earlier in the offseason that they would find an analytics/numbers-type person for the front office. This week, the Phillies announced they made the hire, Scott Freedman from the MLB labor relations department. Assistant General Manager Scott […]
Bad news for the Phillies. Shortstop Roman Quinn, one of the Phillies top prospects, has torn his Achilles while working out at home, Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly is reporting.

That means that whatever team signs Beltran will have to forfeit a first round draft pick. That is, unless you were one of the bottom teams […]
As expected, the Phillies did not extend qualifying offers to pitcher Roy Halladay and catcher Carlos Ruiz, according to Todd Zolecki and other sources. What does this mean? Not too much. It does not rule out that either would return to the Phillies. But, here is what the process means, for those not familiar. […]
The Phillies have yet to come to a contract agreement with catcher Carlos Ruiz, despite the fact they have had all season to do so. As time passes, it is looking more and more like the Phillies could have a different catcher when they open the 2014 season. According to the Denver Post, Ruiz's defense […]
Wikipedia Commons Most baseball people have agents. Leo Mazzone has a Twitter account. Mazzone tweeted to the Phillies' Twitter account this morning that he was interested in their open pitching coach position: @Phillies I would be very interested in being your pitching coach. #championshipball — Leo Mazzone (@LeoMazzone54) November 4, 2013 Mazzone is one […]
