    Offseason Check-in

    Brent and Jim take some time to discuss the Phillies' offseason thus far. They talk Schwarber and Realmuto re-signing, Adolis Garcia signing as the new starting right fielder, and how the Phillies seemed to be a lock to sign Bo Bichette, only to have the Mets swoop in a steal him away. They also discuss where the Phillies should pivot, now that Bichette is unavailable and they give their thoughts on how confident they are in the team as it stands currently.  Episode Credits: Music: Opening Theme: Rebel by LNDO Closing music: The First Scene by Aiden Hatfield Artwork: Jim Russo and Sweeetdreamss Producers: Brent Tracy and Jim Russo Editor: Brent Tracy
