We talk closers and bats before Thursday's trade deadline; remembering Ryno

The trade deadline is almost here, and we're still waiting for the Phillies to do something.

They will. It remains the expectation anyway. We talk about the closers and bats on the market, including St. Louis’ Ryan Helsley and Arizona’s Eugenio Suárez. That’s two rentals for 2025. Sound good? No? How many prospects do the Phillies want to sacrifice to get them?

We share our memories of Ryne Sandberg, who died on Monday. Ruben hired Sandberg as Phillies manager in 2013. Jim and Todd covered him. A truly nice man who will be missed.
