Episode Notes

The Phillies had a busy week last week:

  • They signed Adolis Garcia to a one-year, $10 million contract on Tuesday.
  • Phillies assistant general manager Ani Kilambi was named Nationals GM on Wednesday.
  • The Phils signed Brad Keller to a two-year, $22 million deal on Thursday.
  • They traded Matt Strahm to the Royals on Friday for Jonathan Bowlan.
  • They traded a Minor League prospect to the Diamondbacks on Friday for Kyle Backhus.

Why did the Phillies trade Strahm? It cleared payroll, for sure. But Strahm’s relationship with the Phillies had soured, too. What is the Phillies’ payroll situation right now? And where do things stand with J.T. Realmuto? What happens if he doesn’t sign?
