2025 Phillies Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Are the Phillies missing opportunities while waiting for J.T. Realmuto to decide on their offer?

It's been weeks since the Phillies shifted focus to re-signing J.T. Realmuto, and nothing has happened. Is the holdup costing them chances at other moves?

Banks for only $1.2 million?? Good deal for the Phils.

Yeah, I’m happy with that.

Unless you're off-the-charts good, a lot of the contract numbers are based on where you are in the contract process, in terms of MLB service.

Banks made $785,500 last season.

2026 is the first year he's eligible for arbitration, and he was mostly a middle relief pitcher (which doesn't generate great statistics). Arb1 guys rarely get huge deals. He still has Arb2 (2027) and Arb3 (2028) before he gets to FA.

Ohhhh ok

Funny post on Phillies Reddit:

“A steakhouse in Toronto is offering Bichette free steaks for life if he re-signs there, have they not heard of Wawa? They don't want to poke that bear.”

How does this potentially impact the Bichette contract?

[Relayer]

In other words, get ready to be disappointed when he signs elsewhere. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Wow. Ranger getting PAID. Good on him.

for some reason he is my current favorite Phillie

What’s his salary? $22M? If a team can get Casty for $3M to $5M for a contract year, then that’s great business.

I think he’ll be motivated with a change of scenery. Miami should call Dombrowski if these numbers are even close.

If the Phillies are eating most of that contract, a team like the Pirates, who are desperate for a bat, should be interested.

What position are the Phillies looking for Bichette to play?
