Andrew Painter’s spring debut: two innings of hope and promise

Three years later, Andrew Painter delivered the goods. He threw two scoreless innings on Sunday against the Yankees in his first Grapefruit League start in exactly three years. It’s been a long road back for Painter, who had Tommy John surgery in 2023. But in a 20-pitch effort against several quality big leaguers, Painter pounded the strike zone and got early contact. What to make of it? What’s Zack Wheeler’s timeline to rejoin the rotation? What’s up with Aidan Miller’s back? Start your 7-day free trial today at https://FOXOne.com Love the show?

Bryce Harper's still upset about Dave Dombrowski's "elite" comments

Bryce Harper got to Clearwater, Florida, on Sunday. He spoke to reporters in the morning outside BayCare Ballpark. He had a lot to say: He talked about Dombrowski’s comments in October, when he wondered if Harper would be elite again or not. He said while he doesn’t need any motivation, the fact Dombrowski said what he said publicly bothered him. He talked about how the Phillies’ cleanup hitters need to step up. He talked about participating in the WBC. He talked about the Phillies’ chances to compete and more. Harper mentioned the Phillies’ cleanup hitters. Alec Bohm could be the guy this year. We discussed his importance to the 2026 season as well. Love the show?

Beer and Baseball: Phillies release Nick Castellanos

The Phillies couldn’t salvage their relationship with Nick Castellanos. They didn’t want to. So, they released him on Thursday. The Phillies are eating the final $20 million of a five-year, $100 million contract. That’s how badly they wanted Castellanos to go away. We talked about the Phillies’ decision, why it took so long and Castellanos’ admission that he brought a beer into the visitors’ dugout in Miami in June. We get into everything that soured the Phillies on Castellanos, and vice versa. Love the show?

Phillies are back: Zack Wheeler’s rib, Nick Castellanos’ locker

Day 1 of Phillies spring training is in the books. Phillies ace Zack Wheeler talked about his recovery from thoracic outlet decompression surgery in September, which required the removal of the first rib near his right shoulder. Wheeler revealed that he kept the rib, and it’s sitting in a case in his closet at home! Wheeler is missing a rib and Nick Castellanos is missing a locker in the Phillies’ clubhouse. He’s still on the 40-man roster, but he won’t be much longer. Plus, the plan for Aidan Miller, Aaron Nola’s decision to pitch for Italy in the WBC and Orion Kerkering’s tweaked hamstring.

Who's the best? Phillies or Mets?

The Phillies smoked the Mets in the NL East last year, winning the division by 13 games. But the Mets won the offseason, especially when they stunned the Phils and signed Bo Bichette. So, who’s better? We go position by position through the Phillies and Mets lineups, including the rotation and bullpen: Catcher: Francisco Alvarez vs. J.T. Realmuto First base: Jorge Polanco vs. Bryce Harper Second base: Marcus Semien vs. Bryson Stott Third base: Bo Bichette vs. Alec Bohm Shortstop: Francisco Lindor vs. Trea Turner Left field: Carson Begne/Tyrone Taylor vs. Brandon Marsh/Otto Kemp Center field: Luis Robert Jr vs. Justin Crawford Right field: Juan Soto vs. Adolis García RIP Dan McQuade.

Bye Bye, Bader: Is the Phillies outfield really set?

If you’ve been listening to the show the past several weeks, you know we’ve been saying Harrison Bader almost certainly wouldn’t be returning to the Phillies in 2026. Sure enough, he just agreed to a two-year, $20.5 million deal with the Giants. So what’s the Phillies’ outfield going to be? Is there any chance the Phils sign another outfielder before camp opens next month?

Dombrowski, Realmuto talk for first time since Bo Bichette "gut punch"

What a week for the Phillies. They went to sleep on Thursday thinking they were signing Bo Bichette, who stunningly signed a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets on Friday. The Phillies quickly improved their offer to J.T. Realmuto, who thought his Phillies career was over. But Realmuto is back, and Dave Dombrowski said he is “content” with where they are as a team.

Boo Bichette: Phillies stunned to lose star, J.T. Realmuto returns

What the hell happened? The Phillies offered Bo Bichette a seven-year, $200 million contract on Thursday. They thought they had him. Then – poof – he’s gone. Bichette stunned everybody in baseball, when he accepted a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mets instead. The Phillies followed the massive disappointment by signing J.T. Realmuto to a three-year, $45 million deal. What happened with Bichette? What do we think about the Realmuto deal? What comes next? Love the show?

Bo Bichette or J.T. Realmuto? Or could the Phillies land both?

The Phillies’ pursuit of Bo Bichette is heating up. They have talked at least twice this week, including Monday’s ballyhooed Zoom. The Phillies see a path to bringing Bichette to Philadelphia, but several obstacles remain. First, they must outbid the Dodgers, Yankees, Blue Jays, Red Sox and any “mystery” teams. Second, they must shed salary. That means trading Alec Bohm’s $10.2 million contract. That means finding an alternative for J.T. Realmuto. But is there a way the Phillies could sign both?

Star Power: Don Mattingly, J.T. Realmuto and Bo Bichette

The Phillies have hired Don Mattingly to be their bench coach in 2026. We love the hire. But how does it help the Phillies? Well, of course, it could help their late-game decision making. But if you read between the lines, Phillies manager Rob Thomson hinted that Mattingly’s star power should bring increased credibility to the coaching staff. The Phillies are trying to tighten up things, and they believe Mattingly should help. We dig into J.T. Realmuto’s free agency. We talk about the chance Bo Bichette signs with the Phillies, too.

The Winter Meetings are next week in Orlando, Fla., where magical things can happen.Ranger Suárez could have a magical winter, following Dylan Cease’s seven-year $210 million contract with the Blue Jays. Suárez is arguably the best starting pitcher remaining in free agency, unless Framber Valdez is more your speed.Kyle Schwarber and J.T Realmuto remain free agents. We discuss the latest, which included an unexpected scenario from Ruben – Schwarber and Realmuto to the Reds? He thinks it would make sense for the Reds.

Ep 240What’s happening with Kyle Schwarber’s free agency and more

If you thought the Phillies and Kyle Schwarber would sign a multiyear contract shortly after free agency started, think again.We still think Schwarber will re-sign with the Phillies, but right now his agency is trying to maximize his value -- as they should. That means drawn-out negotiations, and maybe even a little frustration on the Phillies’ end. It’s rally no surprise. Schwarber had a massive 2025, leading the NL in home runs and RBIs and finishing second for NL MVP. He needs to cash in on this deal. But again, we think the roads point to Schwarber’s return to Philly.We talk about recent moves the Mets and Braves have made in the NL East and more.Take advantage of Ridge’s Biggest Sale of the Year and GET UP TO 47% OFF by going to Ridge.com/FOUL #RidgepodGo to MeUndies.com/foul and enter promo code foul for up to 50% off!Support The Phillies Show!

But Harper’s agent Scott Boras might have had the most interesting things to say about this whole idea that Harper might not be an elite player anymore: If the Phillies want Harper to crush MLB pitching again, they need a legit power hitter to hit behind him in the lineup.We discuss Dombrowski’s comments on Thursday’s episode of Foul Territory.Presented by FOX One: Start your 7-day free trial today at FOXOne.com.Parx Casino and betPARX are the official casino and sportsbook of TPS.
