Sometimes the best deal is the one you don’t make
The Phillies had agreed to Bo Bichette’s request for a 7-year, $200 million deal last night and believed they would sign him until the Mets swooped in with their 3-year, $126 million offer after losing out in in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes.

The Phillies should re-think their stance on opt-outs
Is it actively hurting them in negotiations?

Phillies were in on longer deal, lower AAV, if Bichette wanted $42M a year and to hit FA again, that was not a construct they could afford
January 16, 2026 at 5:05 PM
Well that’s a nightmare
Bo Bichette is in agreement with the Mets on a 3-year contract.

#Phillies Opening Day is 7️⃣1️⃣ days away.

When the Phillies get win # 7️⃣1️⃣, assuming Rob Thomson is still at the helm he'll pass Jim Fregosi for 5th most total wins (incl. postseason) in Phils history.

My greatest memory of Ranger Suarez is after throwing a no-hitter with the Crosscutters in 2016, talking with him postgame and there was this moment when it finally hit him that he'd thrown a professional no-hitter. He paused his answers, looked skyward, and just laughed.

Ranger Suárez was one of the coolest players to ever don Phillies pinstripes. From every agitated look on a perfectly fielded ground ball to legendary postseason performances, he’ll always be loved in Philadelphia

So long sweet prince 🥹
#RedSox to sign left-hander Ranger Suárez to 5-year, $130 million deal with no opt-outs according to multiple reports.

Suárez, 30, is an 8-season #MLB veteran, all with #Phillies. 2024 All-Star was 12-8 with a 3.20 ERA/1.220 WHIP/137 ERA+ in 26 starts for PHI last season.
