The Offseason: 3/1/2021

Wasn’t it lovely to talk about the Phillies as they were actually happening? Sure it was only on the radio, but since the last few months have felt like they have lasted 2 years, getting to hear the crack of a bat go into your ear holes was a welcome sound. The team is on TV soon, so we’ll be able to discuss it in real time. What a time!

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• There was some good yesterday (Haseley) and some bad (Ivan Nova), so Corey Seidman wraps it all up for you.
• The Phillies plan to improve their infield defense. Scott Lauber fills you in on that plan.
• As the team opens their Clearwater schedule today, here is who might be behind Aaron Nola when he takes the hill.
• You’d have to assume that the run of bad luck that the team has been on is due to turn around right?

MLB news:

• Are you looking for breakout candidates in 2021? Of course you are! Here is one from each team!
• Interesting move here as the Royals extended Hunter Dozier for four more years.
• This is pretty neat. Trey Mancini got a standing ovation in his first at bat after battling colon cancer.
