Kevin Cooney: Laying out an offseason plan for the Phillies that doesn't include J.T. Realmuto
One of the main contradictions in baseball is that it moves both slowly and quickly. A season ends and a new one immediately begins within a few days of the conclusion of the World Series.October 4, 2020

Kevin Cooney: With next Phillies GM, Middleton must avoid the same mistakes he made with Klentak
Despite what you may hear on your favorite sports talk radio station, John MIddleton does drive with a passion to bring his “damn trophy back.” That’s not a phony act in the least as any organizational staffer could tell you over the years.September 27, 2020

Kevin Cooney: Who will take blame for Phillies' September disaster?
There was a lot to digest from a 58-minute press conference almost 12 months ago. But the one answer that stood out on October 11, 2019 – back when the world seemed awfully similar — from John Middleton’s decision to fire Gabe Kapler at that time was one simple one that the Phillies owner harped on.September 18, 2020

Kevin Cooney: Matt Klentak, Andy MacPhail need to go if Phillies hope to turn organization around
The visiting baseball clubhouse in RFK Stadium was a claustrophobic nightmare on that first Sunday in October, 2005. And yet, they had all gathered – 45 men in uniform, squeezed into a room that could hold about 30 max- watching a baseball game from 1,500 miles away on a 25 inch tube television mounted on the wall.August 12, 2020
Opinion
Kevin Cooney: Phillies organizational mistakes clouding any hope for success this season
In the bleakest of times over the past decade of endlessly awful to mediocre Phillies baseball, there was always that glimmer of hope you could snuggle up against and believe would be the fulcrum of brighter days ahead.July 24, 2020

Kevin Cooney: How the Phillies can succeed in this odd 2020 baseball season
It won’t be a crisp April afternoon that greets them, walking in from the recesses of Ashburn Alley to the soaring red-and-powder blue clad masses bundled against the early spring chill, excited for the normal marathon grind.July 13, 2020
Phillies
Kevin Cooney: Phillies finally have an adult in the room with Joe Girardi
In this most abnormal of years with no guarantee that the Major League Baseball season can even finish the 60-game “fun run” of a schedule, the one thing that Phillies fans should hold onto is the fact that their manager has as good a grasp on a situation that will easily get away from most skippers.March 10, 2020

Kevin Cooney: MLB has a chance to get it right with coronavirus, but probably won't
It is a bright day at the ballpark formerly known as Bright House Field. Indeed, Spectrum Field basks under the glow of an 85 degree Wednesday afternoon for a Grapefruit League tilt between the Phillies and Pirates.February 24, 2020
Phillies
Kevin Cooney: Phillies' history shows low arbitration offer means nothing, Realmuto will sign here
Players get mad after these processes. That’s a simple fact. But you are only as good as your next contract. And the one the Phillies will likely give J.T. Realmuto makes this all seem like just a minor tiff.January 22, 2020
Phillies
Kevin Cooney: Curt Schilling trending into Baseball Hall of Fame next year
With an incoming 2021 class that would fit the term “underwhelming”, Schilling is likely 18 months away with his date on a Cooperstown dais. Schilling’s vote total jumped nine points this year. With an empty incoming ballot, that number’s not going down and it is likely that a Schilling only ceremony will cause the sport’s powers-that-be some serious sleepless nights.
