PHILLY BASEBALL INSIDER

Major League Baseball is proposing to eliminate 25-percent of the current teams in the minors.

Minor League Baseball could look very different for the 2021 season if a proposal to contract 42 teams and realign leagues goes through.

Three former Phillies players are first-time nominees for the Baseball Hall of Fame on the 2020 ballot.

Trevor Plouffe claims that he has a source that has told him how the Houston Astros were able to steal signs during the World Series.

If Gabe Kapler thought he wasn’t well liked in Philly, he’s got to think he’s hated in the City By The Bay.

Joe Dillon, the Nats assistant hitting coach, is a candidate for the Phillies hitting coach job and will reportedly interview for the position soon.

Juan Castro will move from being the Phillies minor league infield coordinator to serving as their major league infield coach under Joe Girardi.

J.T. Realmuto has now picked up National League honors as the best defensive catcher and the best offensive catcher in the National League.

Two former Phillies coaches have found new jobs with other major league teams.

The Phillies outrighted five players and declined team options on three others to get their roster under the 40-man limit.
