I have a feeling that one of the bigger stories entering spring training and the 2026 season is going to be the lineup and how Rob Thomson constructs it. There is a linked story down below about it, but
even then, what goes on after the top three in the order hit? Where does Adolis Garcia fit in all of this?
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- It’s possible that Bryce Harper will no longer be the #3 hitter in the lineup. He might switch with Kyle Schwarber ($).
- Aaron Nola is going to be a very important piece for the team in 2026. Here is how he can get back on track next season.
MLB news:
- Just when you thought the Mets couldn’t get any better this offseason, they went and added to their bullpen.
- Adding Andrew McCutchen for one more season seems like a no-brainer for the Pirates, yet this is the Pirates, so…
- Imagine John Middleton cold calling Phillies fans this winter. How would that go? Probably as well as the Twins’ owner doing the same ($).
- The Giants made a pretty bold move to try and acquire CJ Abrams ($). Maybe it’ll happen?
