The Phillies have 2 years and a few months left of Zack Wheeler. Kyle Schwarber in Philly is only promised for 70 more games. Bryce Harper’s contract is halfway done. In 22 days, the Phillies need the Dave Dombrowski they hoped for back in 2020. crossingbroad.com/news/phillies/…
I’m starting to run out of words for Cristopher Sanchez. It’s just night after night of straight dominance. We’re watching the best left-handed starter in the NL every five days, and he’s not even our #1. crossingbroad.com/news/phillies/…
