Christian Walker to the Phillies? Jim Salisbury makes the case for the team to make a move for the Astros' first baseman.

Could we see Aroldis Chapman and Jhoan Durán in the same bullpen? Ruben Amaro, Jr. floats the idea...

Bo Bichette is going to New York, which means Alec Bohm is the Phillies third baseman. Awkward? Maybe. But a motivated Bohm could be a good thing for the Phillies.

As we get closer to the trade deadline, what are the possibilities of Mike Trout or Byron Buxton coming to Philadelphia? "Now you're talking about some outfield production."

“I’ve heard people say I’m not interested in Nick Castellanos at any price, mentioning the defense is a big reason why.” Todd Zolecki says a Nick Castellanos trade is more likely to come later in the offseason, despite the Phillies seemingly having his replacement in place.

"He's been a warrior for this team." Jim Salisbury thinks Nola's heavy workload over the years is contributing to his poor performance.

"The team has just been abysmal. In almost every category." Ruben Amaro, Jr. says this Phillies start has put "a lot of people on the hot seat" but believes "this is on the players."

"Jim, you should have been a GM." 😂 Ruben Amaro, Jr. jokes with Jim Salisbury after hearing his plan for Aidan Miller if Bo Bichette were to be signed.

Andy MacPhail once said, "The GM only gets so many managers. If you make this move, you're going to increase the scrutiny on yourself. Are you prepared for that?" If Dave Dombrowski were to eventually fire Rob Thomson, his seat would likely warm up significantly.

"I would love it. What a fit." Jim Salisbury loves Bo Bichette to the Phillies, but it would mean cutting salary in the infield.

Should the Phillies make a run at Tarik Skubal? "I wouldn't think about it. I'd DO IT," says Ruben Amaro, Jr..

"They've been pretty much, across the board, a bad team so far. We've expected a lot better." Jim Salisbury says the "sloppy start" reflects poorly on the coaching staff as well.

"I am convinced that you do not need 12 pitchers in a five-game series." Could that 9th inning have looked different with an extra guy off the bench available to run?

Ruben Amaro Jr. says batting Bryce Harper in the leadoff spot makes for a nearly complete lineup. "Other than when you flip the lineup from nine to one, you go left-right all the way down."

"This is not a dip your toe in anymore. I'm diving all the way the hell in." Ruben Amaro, Jr. makes the case for the Phillies to trade for Eugenio Suárez and Félix Bautista.

J.T. Realmuto is back with the Phillies on a three-year, $45 million deal. Jim Salisbury has strong feelings about it.

Remembering one of John Kruk's wildest TV moments with Tom McCarthy.

Is Max Kepler the most handsome man to wear a Phillies uniform?

“There is a dearth of catching that is disgraceful in the major leagues.” Ruben Amaro, Jr. explains why catcher is one of the most important positions on the field and how the Phillies should approach it if they’re unable to re-sign J.T. Realmuto.

Besides Harrison Bader still looking for a multiyear deal, there are other reasons the Phillies should not bring him back.
