Phillies

Winning in spring training correlates to winning in October, which is good news for the Phillies

by Evan Macy

It's the preseason, and the games count for nothing more than tune ups for the players on the roster as March 28th's Opening Day day against the Braves approaches. However, there is actually more correlation between winning the South Florida baseball league than you'd think.

Michael Bennett's career with Eagles is likely over, reports say

by Evan Macy

Nine sacks, 15 tackles for loss and an impressively productive season later, Michael Bennett wants to get paid what he deserves, and it probably won't come from the Eagles.

by Evan Macy

Bryce Harper is a Phillie and there is sure to be no shortage of drama, storylines and intrigue as he begins his 13-year career in Philadelphia.

Phillies' home run total should explode in 2019

by Evan Macy

Just last season, the 15-year-old stadium yielded the fourth highest home run rate in baseball. Historically, it's been a great place for hitters — as the 2008 World Series champs and the competitive teams in the years following famously bashed the ball. This coming season, the Phillies should be back toward the top of the majors in home runs again, after adding Bryce Harper and a trio of other hitters with some pop during a very eventful offseason.

According to a report from Philly.com's Les Bowen, Foles may have a new team all but ready to sign him.
