The Phillies are running back a team whose offense hit the skids when it mattered most once again, lost more effective bullpen arms than they acquired, and didn’t change the makeup of the roster in any significant way. Big name stars like Juan Soto, Kyle Tucker, and others all changed uniforms and the Phils weren’t even in the conversation. So yeah, I hear ya.

After eschewing wide receiver in last week’s draft, the Cowboys traded a 2026 third-round pick to Pittsburgh for Steelers star wide receiver George Pickens. It gives new head coach Brian Schottenheimer another top flight wideout to pair with Pro Bowler Cee Dee Lamb. Somewhere, Dak Prescott is dancing a little jig. The need for a No. 2 wide receiver in Dallas was obvious.

Bill Streicher-Imagn Images The Phillies won another series over the weekend, their third straight and the second against a potential playoff team. It was a promising six-game homestand in which the Phils went 4-2 and saw their offense begin to slug the ball with a little more regularity. The bullpen largely pitched pretty well and most of the starters did their thing effectively, too.

Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images It’s unusual that a relief pitcher would be considered a team’s most valuable player, but it’s clear to anyone watching the Phillies that, right now, Jose Alvarado is this team’s most indispensable player. Think about it. The starting rotation is stacked, so even if the Phils were to lose Zack Wheeler for a bit, it’s reasonable to think they could get through it.
