Should the Phillies consider selling high on a former All-Star?
Wildes was wrong about Rockets, Cavs suffer from Curse of Brou in Nick’s Tiers | First Things First
The Philadelphia Phillies are three games above .500 and second place in the NL East. Not the worst start, but also not the outright dominance fans hoped for. Many of the same flaws that held Philadelphia back last season are prevalent again in 2025, which has led to a creeping doubt about their World Series chances.
Rob Thomson’s Phillies have a history of finishing strong, though, so Philadelphia is due for a hot spell eventually. The offense remains touch and go, spearheaded by elite sluggers like Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, but equally hampered by weak links of the Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm variety. As for the pitching staff, well… the bullpen needs work.
