Listen "SNUBBED: Cristopher Sanchez ROBBED of All-MLB First Team Despite Cy Young Runner-Up Honors"
Episode Synopsis
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sanchez finished second in NL Cy Young voting but didn't make the All-MLB first team. How does that make sense?Connor Thomas breaks down the controversial All-MLB team selections, arguing Sanchez deserved first-team honors over several pitchers who made the cut. The discussion covers Kyle Schwarber's second-team selection, Jhoan Duran's elite closer status, and Zack Wheeler's recognition despite injury. Key topics include Edwin Diaz opting out of his Mets contract and whether the Phillies should hope he leaves the division, the Logan O'Hoppe trade revisited in hindsight, and Brandon Marsh's ceiling as a center fielder. Thomas also addresses Schwarber's contract timeline, predicts a December signing, and identifies right-handed power as the team's biggest offseason need. The mailbag segment explores potential interest in Japanese third baseman Munetaka Murakami and what it signals about Alec Bohm's future.Tune in for expert analysis on the Phillies' All-MLB representation and critical offseason decisions ahead. 0:00 Intro0:30 All MLB First and Second Team Announcements2:32 Cristopher Sanchez Snubbed from First Team5:36 Jhoan Duran Named First Team All MLB Closer9:09 Phillies Stars on All MLB Second Team11:44 Edwin Diaz Free Agency and Division Impact16:18 Should Phillies Want Diaz to Stay with Mets26:29 What Should Phillies Ask Santa For28:31 Kyle Schwarber's Free Agency Timeline Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.
