Will the Phillies pursue Juan Soto? Who should the Phillies add to replace Juan Soto in the bullpen? How many innings will Juan Soto pitch as the 5th starter? Is there a limit to how much Juan Soto can spend to add free agents? Finally, Juan Soto. Paul and Matt discuss the offseason at the outset of the GM meetings in Texas, where the Phillies have some decisions to make as they prepare to lay the groundwork to court a new superstar; failing that, what else could they reasonably do to shore up the outfield, bullpen, and bench?

President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski and Manager Rob Thomson held their annual postseason media availability this week, offering few concrete details on the offseason ahead but nevertheless shining some light on possible paths forward. Paul and Matt get into the nitty-gritty.

Paul and Matt host a solemn gathering to eulogize the disappointing 2024 Phillies and their abbreviated playoff run, then take a (very early) look ahead to what the '24-'25 offseason may bring. Who stays? Who goes? Does this core have another strong run in them? The wounds are fresh, but Paul and Matt talk them through while getting stitched up.

Did you expect anything less? The Phillies and Mets have played two wild games to start their Division Series matchup, and it all boils down to a series tied at 1; a best 2-of-3. After a waste of Zack Wheeler's brilliance in Game 1, the Phils showed up with an instant classic in Game 2. Paul and Matt revisit the moments, the pitching concerns, the interesting message sent via an Alec Bohm benching, and the heroics of Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos.

When the Phillies and Mets get together, you know weirdness is about to happen. Add in the first playoff matchup in these franchises' history and you've got a recipe for something explosive. Paul and Matt look ahead to a series the Phillies should hold the upper hand in, how the pitching and lineups should play out, and who needs to step up to give the Phils their third straight NLCS appearance.

With a bye into the NLDS locked in, the Phillies will rest and prepare for the winner of the Milwaukee Brewers/New York Mets Wild Card matchup. Paul and Matt take a quick look back on the season that was, potential roster moves ahead of this weekend, and offer strengths/weaknesses/predictions for the Wild Card round.

The regular season nears its end with the Phillies closing in on a home clincher. Despite a less-than-great road trip last week, there isn't a whole lot that's changed with the Phils, but the rest of the NL has certainly made it interesting. Paul and Matt look ahead to the off-ramp of this week's games and steady their nerves for the tension to come later.

The Phillies, powered by the collective of Weston Wilson, Buddy Kennedy, Cal Stevenson, and Kody Clemens, are mere games away from clinching their first division title in 14 years. Paul and Matt discuss playoff roster implications for the bench and rotation as the team zeroes in on the NL East crown.
