Jarrett Seidler is fantastic and every Phillies fan should read his farm system write up
I will also say to just enjoy 2026 for what it is because they’re going to be bad when the stars aren’t stars anymore and the greatest MLB talent evaluator in the modern era decides to retire

Yeah, the Dodgers are the problem
Unsurprisingly, the #Whitesox aren't planning to make any multi-year free agent commitments this offseason:

Source: Orioles hiring Dustin Lind as lead hitting coach
According to an industry source, the Orioles are hiring Philadelphia Phillies assistant hitting coach Dustin Lind to be their lead hitting coach. The 37-year-old Lind was the assistant hitting coach of the Phillies in 2024 and 2025 and before that worked with Orioles manager Craig Albernaz in San Francisco where he was the director of […]

The funny thing about “moneyball” or whatever is that the game is way past it.
It’s not just that he spent a decade with the Cleveland fucking Browns, it’s that his only GM/President experience prior was 2 seasons with the Dodgers. This isn’t some storied executive lol

Didn’t get to react to this earlier
The hire is just so fucking funny and it’s not because of the Deshaun Watson trade (which I don’t think DePodesta should actually be blamed for because he didn’t really make it)

Phillies have exercised José Alvarado’s $9 million team option for 2026.

If Bader and the Phillies have to reunite (Bader’s market isn’t great and the Phillies don’t have options) then whatever but a quickish reunion for him sounds like a big red flag on Justin Crawford
A Marsh/Platoon, Crawford, and Ward OF sounds like a very ideal outcome for the OF picture given their options and lack of tradable prospects

I think the Mets keeping Richardson was ideal but it is also quite strange to me that people have been crashing out so bad over significant structural changes happening to a team that underperformed by about a dozen games
