The Phillies Season Is Upon Us! (PST Episode 659)

Author: The Philadelphia Sports Table March 19, 2026 Duration: 52:56
Excitement is in the air for the Philadelphia Phillies 2026 season! While some believe this team is “running it back,” 25% of the roster is new this coming season, and we’re here to discuss it - as well as some of the players who have been on this team for years. Destiny Lugardo, the editor at PhilliesNation.com, joined the show this week for a great discussion about various players and what we may see from them this coming season.
But first, the guys discussed a number of Eagles offseason storylines: re-signings, contract extensions, ad what they like and have concerns with as this team and organization are moving forward. (Approx. 4:35)
From there, they got into some baseball talk as they gave their thoughts on the World Baseball Classic, what Bryson Stott has been doing in spring training, and how this Phillies starting pitching is looking good so far! (Approx. 16:15)
What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Destiny Lugardo from Phillies Nation about the upcoming 2026 Phillies team and season. What kind of Bryce Harper will we see this year? Has Alec Bohm reached his ceiling? The importance of J.T. Realmuto behind the plate. All of this and much more this week on the Table! (Approx. 30:45)
