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

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

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.January 10, 2020

Kevin Cooney: Phillies need to do more to grab, keep attention of fans
The E-A-G-L-E-S eclipse has ended. And as winters doldrums move forward and the length of time until Florida’s warm and inviting sun draws shorter, the natural attention starts to turn to where the Phillies are with just about a month to spring training.December 13, 2019

Kevin Cooney: Phillies have 'no other choice' but to 'outspend mistakes'
The Phillies did get a little better. But they are still not good enough. And while you can’t say they are “going cheap”, it is fair to wonder if their financial planning has any kind of plan at all.December 5, 2019

Kevin Cooney: Phillies taking a big gamble on Zack Wheeler — and they better hope it pays off
It is the time of the year where rational thinking tends to disappear and organizational philosophies get thrown into the wind. The Phillies, right now, are the biggest example of that.November 6, 2019

Kevin Cooney: What to expect from Joe Girardi as he's announced as new Phillies manager
There is one certainty about the press conference that the Phillies will hold on Monday to introduce Joe Girardi as its 55th manager.October 12, 2019

Kevin Cooney: Nothing about Phillies press conference showed 'organization working in harmony'
John Middleton was right on Friday: he has been a great CEO for a lot of companies and made a lot of money. But that was in the business world. The sports world is completely different. And John Middleton will only become a great CEO in that world when he understands the line of separation that has to exist between the product on the field and the suite level.September 29, 2019

Kevin Cooney: If (or when) the Phillies fire Kapler, who should take over as manager?
Eight hundred and ninety-one miles from the home clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park — against a red wall in a Busch Stadium lobby and standing awkwardly next to one another — Joe Maddon and Theo Epstein officially announced their divorce early on Sunday afternoon. The man who lead the Chicago Cubs to their first World Championship since Teddy Roosevelt was President found out that the grace period for a once-in-a-lifetime championship and three appearances in the sport’s final four in five years is three seasons.
