Eagles

Eagles have been playing with fire with their red zone defense

The Eagles are far from the juggernaut Super Bowl favorites many expected them to be in defense of their world championship. But their defense has been doing enough to keep them in games, often times lifting up a putrid offense that starts slow week after week (they have a scoring offense ranked in the bottom 10 this year).

What they're saying: Bryce Harper to the Phillies is a sure thing, probably

“Certainly, ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ has begun,” Boras said in the middle of a media scrum that lasted about an hour. “It’s fashionable. It’s historical. It’s elite. Global, certainly. And certainly, it has inspirations that deal with great shoes and great hair, inspirations on the part of Bryce.”

Manny Machado or Bryce Harper: which is a better free agent fit, target for Phillies?

There are two big prizes this offseason: Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. With the hot stove officially on, the Phillies are expected to be one of the favorites to sign both — or if you ask Las Vegas oddsmakers, THE favorite.

What they're saying about the Phillies: Paul Goldschmidt, Clayton Kershaw and other interesting fall trade, free agency rumors

MLB's free agency officially begins Friday afternoon, which is when the clock will begin on Manny Machado and Bryce Harper as each treks to find a home for 2019 and beyond. Obviously, the Phillies hope they are the chosen ones this fall — Las Vegas seems to think they are. But there are more monster players potentially on the move this offseason.
