Just booked a trip down to Clearwooder for mid March to watch the Phils.

Nice, enjoy it. When my boys get a bit earlier we’ll check off that box.

Nine questions for the Phillies as spring training opens: Welcome, Bohm, future of stars, and more

With the Phillies at an inflection point with this roster, here is The Inquirer’s annual Starting 9 — a lineup’s worth of questions for the next six weeks in Florida.

Doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have an out pitch. Fastball is flat and he can’t throw his slider consistently near the plate.

Thanks for the offer! We went down last year for the first time and enjoyed it so much that we're going again!

Wow

What?

His stats the last 4 seasons:

Year​	Wins​	Losses​	ERA​
2024	6	12	4.14
2023	10	9	4.04
2022	10	12	4.56
2021	9	8	4.53

How does that warrant a 4-year, $55M contract?

He actually pitched pretty well last year. I’m not the President of the Nick Pivetta fan club by any means but the number that popped for him was 172 K’s in 145 innings. They all love swing and miss stuff. His WHIP was also very good. Just for last year

pitcher 1 145 IP 172K’s 1.126 WHIP 2025 Salary $4M
pitcher 2 199 IP 197K’s 1.199 WHIP 2025 Salary $24.5M

Pitcher 1 will earn $51m in 2026-2028, Pitcher 2 will earn $73.5m

Pitcher 1 is our old friend Nick Pivetta, Pitcher 2 is Nola

He’s an inning eater. Been fairly healthy over his career.

With new pitches and more muscle, Painter confident after ‘two-year offseason'

After missing nearly two full years, Phillies top pitching prospect Andrew Painter has added muscle and a couple of new pitches but knows he must remain patient.

Still a Phillie, Bohm addresses a long winter of trade rumors

Just about every day in the gym this offseason, someone would ask Alec Bohm for the scoop on the neverending trade rumors. Still a Phillie, he discussed the odd winter on Wednesday.

It all depends on the dollars. JT's original extension raised questions about the kind of value he'd offer in the final 1-2 years. Last year wasn't up to his standards. Hopefully, this year will be better. If the Phillies pursue Vlad Jr, then that $50M a year must come from somewhere. Guys like JT, Casty and Ranger are likely where the team would look first.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[WestSideLion]

It worked out with Harper at 1B. But does JT bring enough offensive pop as a corner outfield to justify a likely drop in fielding performance?

I would have liked to see that, missed it today. I’ll go back Monday for first full team gathering. Everyone sounds healthy to start; they have to catch a break and not have the injury bug they’ve had the last couple of years. I’d prefer to see a slow and steady Spring.

Last year was a top 5 attendance year at Baycare and I was told today that they are ahead of ticket sales year on year as of today. They expect to sell out every game so if you’re on the fence with tickets, get them now.

I say it every year. If you’ve never seen the old Jack Russell stadium, take a peek. It’s on Seminole off Fort Harrison in the neighborhood. They have a monument row which is cool to walk around. I’m going to find out what the plans are for a Dick Allen monument since they have a monument for each of their modern HOF guys.

Yeah, nice park. I haven’t been to a spring training game there but have been to the stadium before. Just waiting for my kids to get a bit older and then we’ll go down for a week on of these years.
