Rise and Phight: 1/27/2023
Jan 27, 2023 - 12:00 PMSo this is a pretty big week around Philadelphia. The Eagles are playing to go to the Super Bowl, which will have a pretty big effect on the city itself. Usually, I don’t get that wrapped up in how a team’s fortunes affect my mood, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
But hey - it’s almost February, and that means spring training!
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Andrew Painter might be pitching in the majors as early as Opening Day. How is the team preparing him for that task?
- Seems that some executives aren’t that enthused by the Phillies “destroying” the reliever market with their deal for Matt Strahm.
MLB news:
- Always love a good trade, especially when it involves a former Phillies farmhand. At least the Orioles are trying to get pitching.
- The Astros have a new general manager and if he’s as successful there as he has been at his other job, Houston dominance will continue to reign.
- Ever want direct to consumer streaming from MLB? Looks like we may be headed that way as Sinclair files for bankruptcy.
- Having prospects is good. It helps teams rebuild. So why do owners continually put their foot in their mouths about them?
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!
