For the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, Hittin’ Season is nominated for Best Baseball Podcast, ⁦and also this year for Best Team Podcast by @SportsPodGroup We NEED your vote!📷 Vote here: sportspodcastgroup.com/shortlist-cate… Voting is open Tues. Dec. 10 thru Mon. Jan. 13 @lizroscher, @whyy,…

On a NEW Hittin’ Season, Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher discuss the "passionate, productive" conversation reported between the Phillies and MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, as well as their Jesus Luzardo concerns. Tim Jackson of Baseball Prospectus talks about Phillies trade deadline…

Phillies trade for Bednar or Helsley. Phillies add a HR platoon bat. Ramon Laureano, Harrison Bader, someone like that. Abel and/or Painter moved to the bullpen if they're not traded. Crawford called up, if not traded.

Things I DON'T think are happening at the Trade Deadline #Phillies: 1. Castellanos being traded 2. Oneil Cruz coming to Philly 3. Duran, Clase, or Mason Miller coming to Philly. 4. Geno Suarez coming to Philly 5. Luis Robert Jr. coming to Philly

Interesting situation. Trading Castellanos would give the Phillies huge payroll flexibility and allow them to reimagine their outfield. However, he's the only somewhat productive outfield bat, especially from the right side. It hurts them in 2025 I think. I dunno!

With #Eagles training camp now in full swing, here's why I don't see a Super Bowl hangover coming this season. My latest for @BleedingGreen: bleedinggreennation.com/2025/7/24/2447…

“At least five teams” have inquired about #STLCards RHP Ryan Helsley and STL trading Helsley “seems unavoidable,” per @katiejwoo and @WillSammon

The #Royals might consider #Phillies OF Nick Castellanos if Available. Per @JonHeyman

Ryan Helsley on possibly getting traded: "I would say it's 90 percent I go, 10 percent I stay." (Via: @KatieJWoo, @WillSammon)

Much better tonight.

When the Phillies signed Kepler, the #Twins “laughed” 😅 #Phillies seem closer to Mullins - Mets like LRjr more than #Phillies, who think he’s “alright” - @BNightengale

*EXTREME EYORE VOICE* but it won’t be the Phillies…

Can Jesus Luzardo be fixed? The #Phillies sure hope so. I discussed on the latest Hittin' Season, powered by @WHYY! open.spotify.com/episode/2Kz69T…

Well, I missed this earlier this week. Commissioner Rob Manfred apparently had a heated conversation with Phillies players during a meeting over a potential salary cap on Monday. youtube.com/watch?v=Wl-beM…

It truly does happen in threes. Three legends of the '80s, gone in the same week. Malcolm Jamal Warner Ozzy Osbourne Hulk Hogan Crazy week.

The Orioles have placed Felix Bautista on the injured list with right shoulder discomfort. He was a long shot to be traded anyway, but this pretty much ends any chance of that happening.

On an all NEW Hittin' Season, powered by @WHYY, I recap Jesus Luzardo's issues from the stretch and last night's awful loss, Cristopher Sanchez' emergence as an ace, and the latest trade deadline rumors for the #Phillies! open.spotify.com/episode/2Kz69T…

Jesus Luzardo pitches vs the Red Sox tonight…. Luzardo has tipped his breaking ball from the stretch all season long…. There are a couple of guys in Red Sox uniforms that have feasted on this tell for the better part of a decade… Jesus has tried setting his hands at his…

A silver lining with Jesus Luzardo: The stuff is there. He's healthy. It's filthy, great stuff. He's got mechanical issues from the stretch. Mechanical issues can be fixed. Will it happen this year? I don't know, but I think the odds are better than not they will be.

Here's the thing about Jalen Hurts. When he's not playing well, the talent on the team carries him for a bit. The run game (of which he is a major part, by the way) and defense were the driving factors in a number of wins last year. But Hurts also can carry the team, as he did…

It's coming soon! Putting on the finishing touches!!!
