It was a good day for Philadelphia Phillies’ infielder Alec Bohm. The 27-year-old won his arbitration case against the club and will make $4 million for the 2024 season. The Phillies were seeking $3.4 million before an arbitrator ruled in Bohm’s favor. MLB insiders are hinting that a contract extension could be in the near […]
The Philadelphia Phillies have announced former manager Charlie Manuel suffered a stroke while undergoing a medical procedure in Florida on Saturday.

Castillo was […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Photo courtesy of CBSPhilly.com On this lovely Saturday afternoon, the Phillies and Rays went at it at Bright House Networks Field. Kyle Kendrick took the mound for the Phils, but there was also a split-squad game played against the Pirates in Bradenton in which Vance Worley started. Some notes: Charlie Manuel […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy lehighvalleylive.com The time has come to tell Domonic Brown that he will start the season at AAA Lehigh Valley. However, this is not a move that should come out of panic because Brown has started the Grapefruit League season 0 for 12. There has been some early panic among some […]
