Phillies won’t be back until Friday...but that doesn’t mean things aren’t happening!

Phillies News:

Kyle Schwarber seems like an All-Star individual! Just ask his current and former teammates.
Alex Coffey of The Inquirer breaks down each Phillies draft pick.
First Half Awards? Yes, certain Phillies deserve some fake hardware.
Jonathan Papelbon is a loser and you can’t persuade me otherwise.
Bryce Harper looking to see if you can put a pin in it...or out of it rather. To visit the hand surgeon this week.
Ben Brown deserves praise after 101 strikeouts in 69 (...nice) innings, wins pitcher of the week honors for the South Atlantic League.

Mike Trout just can’t seem to stay healthy anymore, huh? Shame since he is likely the greatest player we will see in our lifetime.
Listen to Rob Manfred and Tony Clark discuss the game at your own risk!
The Nationals, bitter about Juan Soto not signing a new extension, didn’t charter him a flight to the All-Star Game. Bold Strategy, Cotton.
