Listen "NOT THE ANSWER: Philadelphia Phillies Should IGNORE Brenton Doyle for Center, Say NO to Mediocrity"
Episode Synopsis
Philadelphia Phillies fans sound the alarm as Brenton Doyle emerges as a rumored center field solution—but is sacrificing prospect capital for defense worth another lackluster bat in the lineup? Connor Thomas slams the idea of a Doyle trade, breaking down his suspect offense, underwhelming splits, and how Citizens Bank Park’s hitter-friendly dimensions likely won’t solve the Phillies’ outfield woes.Plus, the bullpen market heats up as Tyler Rogers signs with the Blue Jays, leaving Philadelphia scrambling for high-leverage arms. Connor Thomas evaluates the urgency to re-sign J.T. Realmuto, the impact of the Bryse Wilson signing, and why time is running out on premium relievers. The episode wraps with fan poll results: Which National League contender, outside the Dodgers, poses the biggest threat to the Phillies? The answer may surprise you.
