Yahoo! Sports Japan just posted that the White Sox are being aggressive here and the Phillies and Blue Jays are hesitant to give long term deals. But they did confirm the Phillies are involved.

Sixers play Denver next Monday

Tatsuya Imai's posting window ends on Friday. Usually guys sign a day or two before that for physicals, etc... The Phillies were willing to blow up their budget and offer Yamamoto $300m. They are desperate to get into the Japanese market. I think they will go after him if they like him.

Howie Roseman needs to learn how to scout Notre Dame safeties. Jordan Davis over Kyle Hamilton Andrew Mubuka over Xavier Watts. Maybe he’ll pick Joey O’Brien in 2029

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

The 2005 Phillies man... 4 potential HOFers in line-up: Rollins, Utley, Abreu, Kenny Lofton Ryan Howard as a rookie (.924 OPS) Pat Burrell 2nd best season (.892 OPS) Jim Thome on bench HOF closer: Billy Wagner traded Polanco for Urbina in 8th 88 wins would make playoff in current format

If Eflin is worth $10m I refuse to believe there isn’t a market for Taijuan Walker

CALL TIMEOUT SIRIANNI YOU IDIOT

That play was so chaotic

Jared McCain make a fucking 3 challenge

Grimes has been non-existent for 3 games now

Rooting for a power outage so I don’t have to watch the Sixers

Tyrese Maxey this year, vs Iverson's MVP season. Both Age 25

We are at the “multiple stories about Austin Hays” point of the off-season I see

Every Sixers loss is “their worst of the year” to some people

Trying to figure if I would be mad if the Phillies traded Painter and Stott for Ketel Marte and then went and signed Imai to replace Painter and let JT walk. 1. Trea Turner 2. Ketel Marte 3. Bryce Harper 4. Kyle Schwarber 5. Alec Bohm 6. Brandon Marsh 7. Adolis Garcia 8. TBD C 9. Justin Crawford

I still don't see why 'Tanking' is bad. I was FAR more invested in the Tanking Sixers than I would have been if they were trying their best to go 30-52 or something. It gives HOPE to fan bases that their good fortune is right around the corner.

This Sixers season is about development...not results. And I appreciate them reminding us of that by contracting a team-wide plague as soon as we started dreaming too big.

I just put $ on the Nets money line

Hamels is doing better than I expected

I mean I ASSUME the Mets are gonna go sign Bichette and Valdez or something at this point

NBA players with a age 25 or younger season w/ 30+ ppg, 7+ apg, 60%+ TS Luka Doncic (2) Michael Jordan Tyrese Maxey (so far)

With how well we've been playing, it's easy to forget how good Oubre was before he got hurt

Nolan trailers usually make you immediately want to re-watch them. The Odyssey's first trailer is kind of weak, tbh.

Interesting how two big unsigned Scott Boras clients with reportedly weak markets both have an Athletic piece insisting a big money team should sign them even if they have to overpay, on the same day

Shai, Jokic, Giannis, Curry, Wemby and Doncic are pretty clearly the top-6 guys in the league right now. Maxey is in the conversation for #7, not only because he continues to improve on offense, but he's taken a LEAP this year on defense.

Goodfellas is a Christmas movie

We really can't trade Taijuan for anything in this pitching market?

My guess is the Phils will resign JT and be done unless they can get Imai, who I think they would go over payroll target for

Trading Strahm drops us the win we picked up with Keller. All tied up. T-1. Phillies, 90.0 wins T-1. Braves, 90.0 3. Mets, 86.0 4. Marlins, 78.5 5. Nats, 66.5

That’s a pathetic return for Strahm

Gimme Jalen Carter, Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell vs Matt Stafford and Puka Nacua all day

Would love if the Phils can trade Strahm and Bohm for some youth and then use that savings to sign Imai. Let Sosa play 3B until Miller is ready.

This is the speech that’s gonna win them all back

Keller is basically your Jeff Hoffman replacement a year too late

Phillies jump again w/ Keller deal. Mets adjusted for Luke Weaver as well. Marlins and Nats just hanging out. 1. Phillies, 91.0 wins 2. Braves, 90.0 3. Mets, 86.0 4. Marlins, 78.5 5. Nats, 66.5

I wouldn't be shocked if we traded Strahm or Alvarado to offset this salary wise

Keller was ranked in FA lists similarly to Ryan Helsley ($14m), Tyler Rodgers ($12m over 3), Raisel Iglesias ($16m) and Emilio Pagan ($10m) -- so $22m over 2 seems right

Keller is good. Feel like we have to shed salary if we are also going to add back JT. Also making me think my Imai dream is dead.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

This pass would have hit me directly in the face

Round and round we go. Braves jump back up with the Kim signing 1. Braves, 90.0 wins 2. Phillies, 89.5 3. Mets, 85.0 4. Marlins, 78.5 5. Nats, 66.5

If the Braves are able to also add a top starter, they probably start the year as favorites to win the division

The reviews are in

2026 FanGraphs projection... Castellanos: -0.2 fWAR Garcia: +1.1 fWAR

I don't think Dombrowski has the guts to trade Bohm or Stott, so assuming JT is back, and Bader is not... 1. Trea Turner, SS 2. Kyle Schwarber, DH 3. Bryce Harper, 1B 4. Alec Bohm, 3B 5. Adolis Garcia, RF 6. JT Realmuto, C 7. Bryson Stott, 2B 8. Brandon Marsh, LF 9. Justin Crawford, CF meh...

Re-Signing JT would probably move us up to 91 wins

Well that was quick, replacing Castellanos with Garcia movies the Phillies back into 1st 1. Phillies, 89.5 wins 2. Braves, 88.5 3. Mets, 85.0 4. Marlins, 78.5 5. Nats, 66.5
