Phillies Reaching Crossroads, Must Balance Today And The Future
Coming into this season, the Philadelphia Phillies were pretty sanguine about their prospects for a deep run into the postseason. They were pretty much running back the same outfit that has been in the thick of playoff contention in recent years, making it to the World Series in 2022. Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner would again lead the offense, while Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and an emerging Cristopher Sanchez would again front the rotation. Players such as OF Max Kepler and lefty starter Jesus Luzardo would fill notable gaps on either side of the ball. The bullpen, a longstanding club issue, would have a new face at the end of ballgames in Jordan Romano. Depending on the week, the Phils have looked like the best team in baseball or a complete also-ran. They started off 8-3, lost 10 of their next 15 to drop to .500, then went on a 21-5 tear, and then through Monday's games skidded into a 4-10 slide that landed them at 38-28, in 2nd place in the NL East, 4 1/2 games behind the Mets. Now fans in many locales would kill for such problems, but the Phillies truly are headed for a crossroads, facing key organizational decisions that will affect the franchise for years. Their nucleus, particularly on the position player side, has gotten old and relatively stale. They're heavily committed to the currently injured Harper, and to SS Turner in terms of dollars and years. Their other offensive star, Schwarber, is a free agent at the end of the season. C J.T. Realmuto, whose bat has stagnated but whose defense remains strong, is also a free agent at the end of the season. RF Nick Castellanos is signed through 2026, and has begun to decline a bit. All five aforementioned players are 32 or older. Their younger regulars, 3B Alec Bohm, 2B Bryson Stott and OFs Brandon Marsh and Johan Rojas, haven't developed as expected at the MLB level. Starting pitching is the club's clear strength. Wheeler is arguably the game's best starter. Sanchez isn't too far behind and is signed long-term on a team-friendly deal. Lefty Ranger Suarez has missed some time this season, but has looked great since his return. He's a free agent at the end of this season. Nola got off to a rough start this season, then hit the injured list with a sprained ankle, and just yesterday his rehab was short-circuited by a rib cage injury. Then there's Luzardo, whose extremes in performance mirror his team's. After 11 starts, his record stood at 5-0, 2.15, with a 77/19 K/BB ratio in 67 innings. Then he gave up an unfathomable 20 earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in his next two starts, more than doubling his ERA to 4.46. Plenty of the bullpen's warts were covered up by Jose Alvarado (4-1, 2.70, 7 SV, 25/4 K/BB in 20 IP) before he was suspended for 100 games for using a banned performance-enhancing substance. Under the terms of his suspension, he will not be allowed to pitch in the 2025 postseason. Romano moved back into the closer role since the loss of Alvarado, and has alternated awesome and awful performances - his ERA is an unsightly 7.40 to date. Bubbling under the major league surface is an exciting minor league system that one way or the other holds the key to the Phillies' future. Do players like SS Aidan Miller, OF Justin Crawford, C Eduardo Tait, RHP Andrew Painter, RHP Mick Abel and 2B Aroon Escobar represent the Phils' future, or will they be dealt to salvage the club's present? More likely it will be a combination of the two. This trading deadline has unique, defining traits of its own compared to previous years. In the American League, specifically, there is a heavy imbalance, with buyers far outnumbering sellers. Even in the NL, where the likely playoff field is a bit tighter, only the Marlins, Pirates and Rockies are clear bottom-feeders. It's going to be tough - and expensive - for a club like the Phillies to meet their needs in the trade market. How might the Phils approach the deadline? - Bullpen - This is the easiest area to identify, and the hardest one to fix. A guy like the Orioles' Felix Bautista could be available, but the price would be outlandish. In addition, the Phils' track record off adding bullpen arms has been abysmal. Relievers run hot and cold - unless you're getting an elite guy like Bautista (and even he hasn't be quite as elite this season), it might be best to stand pat or to make minor deals with minimal prospect cost. - One More Everyday Bat - The Philly lineup has gotten stale. At this point it doesn't appear that Marsh or Rojas are ever going to hit, and they've got become redundant. Kepler is what he is - make a mistake, and he might make you pay, and that's about it. If the Phils can create a package with non-elite prospects (say, taking at least Painter and Miller off of the table, and likely one or two more), they might be able to score a non-elite, team controlled everyday OF that could add a jolt to their lineup. Marlins' OF Jesus Sanchez is such a player. He missed the beginning of the season with a strained oblique, and is just beginning to round into form. He has always hit the ball extremely hard, and while he is more of a corner outfielder than a CF, he could get the job done defensively in the middle of a much smaller outfield in Philly. I wouldn't give up any of the Phils' very best prospects named above for him, but would put an attractive package together and potentially add an MLB OF to it. Sanchez has three more years of team control including this one. - Minor Leaguers - I wouldn't move Miller or Painter under any circumstances. Tait is nearly untouchable as well - the transition from Realmuto to him could be a seamless one. Escobar is one of this season's breakout prospects, and will be asked for often. The Phils know him better than anyone, and will know when someone is overpaying. Ditto Abel, who has looked great in early MLB opportunities after stagnating for an extended period in the upper minor leagues. The minor leaguer I think that' they're most likely to move is Crawford, whose speed is clearly ready for the majors, but whose bat might not be. - Major Leaguers - The Phils could get really frisky and attempt to move some of their pending free agents for more established big leaguers. Moving an elite defensive catcher like Realmuto might be a bridge too far, but I'm certain that Castellanos would available in a deal that brought back a more complete outfielder. Who knows, Stott or Bohm could go in an old-fashioned 'challenge' trade that bring back a comparable player at the same position. Suarez is needed in their rotation right now, and you can never have too much starting pitching, but if Abel and Painter both emerge as reliable big leaguers and Nola comes back strong before the deadline, the lefty could be made available. So this could go in any number of directions. Bottom line, the Phillies still intend to win in 2025, but they will shortly have to decide whether they need to deal from their future to give themselves their best chance. No doubt, team President Dave Dombrowski and GM Preston Mattingly will be trying to find that middle road where the club contends now and in the foreseeable future.

The Sports Report: Dodgers are routed by Padres
From Jack Harris: Major League Baseball does not have a mercy rule for ending games early. On Tuesday night at Petco Park, the Dodgers could have used one. In recent years, the club has punted on plenty of games in the interest of protecting their often injury-riddled and shorthanded pitching staffs. But in an 11-1 loss to the San Diego Padres, they took the act of de facto forfeiture to levels even they hadn't previously pioneered. First, they let minor league call-up Matt Sauer wear it — in every sense of the phrase — over a nine-run, 13-hit, 111-pitch outing. Then, in the face of a nine-run deficit in the bottom of the sixth, they sent position player Kiké Hernández to the mound to pitch the rest of the game, the earliest a true position player had ever taken the mound in a contest in Dodgers franchise history. 'Very awkward,' manager Dave Roberts said. 'It doesn't feel good.' The Dodgers' decision to pack, even before the seventh-inning stretch, it in was rooted in logic. They are currently operating with only four healthy starting pitchers. Their equally banged-up bullpen is leading the majors in innings, and was coming off five frames of work in an extra-inning win the night before. And by the time Hernández took the mound in the sixth, the game had long been lost, the Padres (38-28) teeing off on Sauer with three runs two-out runs in the third inning, single scores in the fourth and fifth, and a four-spot in the sixth.

A few players later, Adams crossed the field left to right and then extended his 6-foot-1 frame while leaping high to grab a pass over the middle for another significant gain. It's only organized team activities, conducted without pads, but Adams demonstrated on Tuesday that he has quickly immersed himself in the Rams' offense and culture since the three-time All-Pro receiver signed a free-agent contract in March. Continue reading here From Thuc Nhi Nguyen: He wasn't under the watchful eye of Chargers executive director of player performance Ben Herbert this offseason. He didn't train in the team's El Segundo practice facility. But it doesn't mean Rashawn Slater wasn't working this offseason. Making his first offseason appearance at the Chargers' facility this week as the team started mandatory minicamp, Slater immediately passed the team's conditioning test. In fact, Jim Harbaugh said, Slater reported the test was too easy. 'Too easy,' the coach said, 'because he trains.' Slater's return highlighted the Chargers' perfect attendance on the first day of three-day minicamp Tuesday. The star left tackle had missed all of voluntary organized team activities while in discussions for a contract extension. Continue reading here From Ben Bolch: David Greenwood adored basketball so much in middle school that he would play for three different teams in three different parks on the same day, multiple times a week. His brother, Al, would be in the car driving around with him between games while David traded in his sweaty uniform for a fresh one, repeating the process over and over. 'He was relentless,' Al said, 'because he loved the game.' At home, David would get tossed around in driveway games by the cement contractor father who was twice his size, only to keep getting back up for more contact. In practices, he shot blindfolded to perfect his form, his brother having to let him know when he was close to going out of bounds so that he could get his bearings. Greenwood, the determined Compton kid who went from a star high school player at Verbum Dei to one of the top scorers in UCLA history to an NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons, died Sunday night at a Riverside hospital Continue reading here From Kevin Baxter: When the CONCACAF Gold Cup was launched, it was intended to be the confederation's version of UEFA's European Championships or CONMEBOL's Copa América. And for more than a generation it sufficed. But as Mexico and the U.S. got better, playing group-play matches against the likes of Saint Kitts and Nevis or Martinique every other year ceased to be a challenge. So twice in the past decade the confederation brought South America's championship tournament to North America just to make things interesting. However, this summer the Gold Cup, which kicks off Saturday with Mexico, the reigning champion, facing the Dominican Republic at SoFi Stadium, has gotten its groove back.

He was seventh in the lineup and grounded to third out in the third inning and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Jose Cruz pinch-hit for him in the fifth of the 8-6 win over Baltimore. 1990 — Nolan Ryan pitched the sixth no-hitter of his career to extend his major league record, and the Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 5-0. Ryan, 43, was the first to pitch no-hitters for three teams and the oldest to throw one. 1995 — Lee Smith set a major league record with a save in his 16th consecutive appearance, pitching a scoreless ninth inning to preserve the Angels' 5-4 victory over Baltimore.

Whitey Ford (236) and Red Ruffing (231) are the only other members of this exclusive New York club. 2012 — The Cubs sign Cuban defector Jorge Soler to a nine-year contract worth $30 million. The 20-year-old outfielder was the subject of a bidding war among several teams. 2013 — The Dodgers and Diamondbacks engage in a beanball war. The hostilities start when D-Backs pitcher Ian Kennedy hits super rookie Yasiel Puig in the head with a fastball in the 6th inning. The ball hits his nose, and he stays on the ground for a few minutes but stays in the game; Andre Ethier follows with a tying two-run homer. In the top of the 7th, Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke hits the first batter, Miguel Montero, in the back, prompting both benches to empty, although only stares are exchanged. Then, in the bottom of the inning, Kennedy throws a pitch near Greinke's head, and pandemonium breaks out, with both benches and bullpens emptying again, and players and even coaches going at each other. When order is restored, Puig and coach Mark McGwire are ejected for the Dodgers, and manager Kirk Gibson and coach Turner Ward for the D-Backs. Incidentally, the Dodgers wins the game, 5 - 3. Major League Baseball will hand out eight suspensions and twelve fines as a result of the events, with Kennedy getting a ten-game suspension and Eric Hinske of the D-Backs getting five; both managers are suspended for one game, and two for the two coaches. 2017 — Max Scherzer of the Nationals records the 2,000th strikeout of his career, beating out Clayton Kershaw, who reached the milestone less than a week ago, as the third fastest pitcher to the mark. 2017 — Rookie sensation Aaron Judge hit two more home runs, including a drive that cleared the distant bleachers at Yankee Stadium and sent New York romping past Baltimore 14-3. The 6-foot-7 Judge led the majors with 21 homers and topped the AL with 47 RBIs and a .344 average. 2022 — Jared Walsh hits for the cycle and Mike Trout blasts a pair of homers as the Angels defeat the first-place Mets, 11-6. Walsh is the 9th player in team history to achieve the feat, almost exactly three years after teammate Shohei Ohtani was the last to do so, while Trout appears to be out of the deep slump that contributed to recent 14-game losing streak, costing manager Joe Maddon his job.
