by Evan Macy

Seemingly made as an early offseason insurance signing (against the real possibility that the Phils might miss out on Bryce Harper), McCutchen signed relatively early this past fall to the tune of three years and $50 million.

After gigantic contract extension, Mike Trout to the Phillies dream is likely over

by Evan Macy

Bryce Harper was optimistic and we were too. MLB even opened tampering investigations into Harper after he signed with the Phillies and immediately said he would lobby for Mike Trout — already one of the best baseball players of all time — to join him in Philly when his contract is up in 2020. That will probably never happen.

Philadelphia swapped Crawford and Carlos Santana with the Mariners for Jean Segura and relievers Juan Nicasio and James Pazos. Bringing in a two-time All-Star shortstop, in his prime, was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Talented West Chester teen must choose between playing collegiate soccer, or FIFA

by Evan Macy

Remember when Kyler Murray was toiling over whether he should play baseball or football professionally? It's kind of like that. Except it's with soccer.

by Evan Macy

Hoskins struggled in the outfield and said several times this offseason — after the Santana trade — that he was very excited to return to first base where he is more comfortable. Could that boost Hoskins to All-Star caliber at a high profile position?
