When Dick Allen was called up to the Phillies from triple-A Arkansas, he vowed never to go back to Little Rock. This April, his son returned to the place Allen would not. A story about remembering our history and a son’s journey to honor his father:
inquirer.com
The 1963 season in Little Rock was brutal for Allen, and he never wanted to return. Five years after his father's death, Richard Allen Jr. did just that: “I was proud to be who I am."

Team USA manager Mark DeRosa on Kyle Schwarber at the WBC: “When you walk in a room full of superstars, and then the eyes of the world are on you, there's pressure to perform in front of the greats. He attacks it.” https://t.co/rEzaxRheGb

On a 2023 WBC team with four MVPs and 21 All-Stars, Schwarber stood out among the rest, according to USA manager Mark DeRosa. "He was the guy."

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, GUYS - possible +300% soon ! Just a random microcap, NextNRG ($NXXT), casually mentioned by Forbes in the same breath as Amazon ($AMZN) and Kroger ($KR). According to Forbes, NextNRG (NXXT) already provides fueling services and trucking support for Amazon

Dave Dombrowski said the Phillies have “mutual interest” with Don Mattingly for the bench coach job. “It’s not official, but we have really focused on speaking with Don and trying to make that happen, and we're hopeful that it will.”

John Cena's grandfather played for the Phillies and threatened to bring them to court after they traded him.

Decades before his grandson became a movie star, Tony Lupien was traded to the Hollywood Stars. But he just wanted to play first base for the Phillies.

https://t.co/LUQTd0wT55 The #Phillies say they've made progress, but still haven’t signed a player out of Japan. When will that change? Let's ask a scout on the ground there. Weekend baseball reading from @PhillyInquirer ⬇️⬇️
inquirer.com
The Phillies are among four teams to be shut out from signing a player out of Japan to a major league deal, but it’s not for a lack of trying. It all comes down to one player willing to be the first.

The Phillies added RHPs Alex McFarlane and Andrew Painter and outfielder Gabriel Rincones Jr. to their 40-man roster. The roster currently stands at 33 players.

As expected, neither Kyle Schwarber nor Ranger Suarez accepted the $22.025 million, one-year qualifying offer. The Yankees' Trent Grisham was among four players who did, taking an outfielder off the board in a thin free-agent class. (Good for Harrison Bader.) #Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies prospect Dante Nori started slow in 2025. An adjustment at the plate and a torpedo bat kickstarted a stellar second half, which he rode through the Arizona Fall League. Up next: the World Baseball Classic? My story for @PhillyInquirer
https://t.co/ZtxdeT9S5D
inquirer.com
A swing adjustment midway through his season paid off for the speedy Nori, who advanced to double-A Reading. After a strong Arizona Fall League, he hopes to continue the momentum in 2026.
