    MISJUDGED: Why The Philadelphia Phillies’ Offseason Moves DESERVE Higher Grades Than You Think

    The Philadelphia Phillies face an offseason grade controversy—did they deserve only a C+ after re-signing Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto? Connor Thomas makes a compelling case for a higher mark, spotlighting the urgency of maintaining a 96-win roster and the undervalued impact of key additions like Brad Keller and Adolis García. Can “running it back” actually fuel another deep playoff push for the Phillies, despite calls for dramatic change? Pitching takes center stage as Connor Thomas scrutinizes Jesús Luzardo’s 2026 outlook, arguing he’s a prime regression candidate due to workload concerns and past injuries. Insight into Daniel Robert’s return on a minor league deal reveals the Phillies’ evolving bullpen strategy and organizational depth. With spring training just days away, questions linger: will the team’s continuity be enough to contend in the NL East, or does a quiet offseason spell trouble ahead?   00:00 – Phillies Offseason Grade Debate Connor Thomas reacts to Jim Bowden's C+ grade for the Phillies offseason, discusses main moves (Schwarber & Realmuto re-signings, Brad Keller, Adolis Garcia), and explains why he believes the grade is unfairly low. 12:15 – 2026 Jesus Luzardo Preview Detailed analysis of Jesus Luzardo heading into 2026: durability worries, past performance inconsistencies, regression risk, and expectations for the Phillies rotation. 23:43 – Daniel Robert Minor League Deal Evaluation of the Daniel Robert minor league signing—what it signals about bullpen depth, expectations for the Phillies' roster stability, and why organizational depth moves matter before spring training.   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
