How big a factor will Andrew Painter be in 2026? Is he "replacing" Ranger Suarez?

On a new Hittin' Season, we asked that question and a lot more heading into spring training! @WHYY @justinklugh.bsky.social

People will say the Phillies didn't sign Harrison Bader because Justin Crawford needs to play every day. THAT'S NOT CORRECT. I explained more on the latest Hittin' Season, powered by @WHYY.org.

For that price? 2 years and a little over $10 million AAV? It's brutal.

Is failing to re-sign Bader for chump change the most pathetic failure of this offseason, or is it the most pathetic failure in the history of sports?

There are buttons the Eagles can push to make the offense go, if the coaching staff is smart enough to push them.

Dave Dombrowski bought another bargain bin outfielder that he hopes will be a productive everyday player. If we hate the process, can we give him credit if it actually works this time? @justinklugh.bsky.social & I discussed on the latest Hittin' Season!

The Phillies are likely to release or trade Nick Castellanos this off-season, and we don't think it has anything to do with his bizarre eating habits. Maybe. We discussed on Hittin' Season.
