Tek & Prem discuss the Phillies MLB Trade Deadline moves with the acquisitions of star closer Jhoan Duran and Outfielder Harrison Bader, welcoming radio personality and reporter Haley Taylor Simon on the Vetline to discuss the Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers. By adding an elite closer, the team is considered second in line as World Series favorites, still positioned behind the Dodgers in that regard. The bats in October will be the determining factor of their success or failure, as the starting pitching is top-tier this season. With 2 months of baseball remaining, and the other contending NL teams all improving their rosters at the deadline (especially the Mets and Padres), this is as wide open a pennant race as we have seen in recent memory. A 3-game set against the 1st-Place Detroit Tigers, a familiar foe of Duran from his time in Minnesota, kicks off tonight at the Bank. The Eagles are in full swing at Training Camp and the first Preseason game against Cincinnati is remarkably only 6 days from now. With many position battles taking place on defense especially, it will be intriguing to see who emerges as the starting cornerback opposite Quinyon Mitchell and how our front seven depth shakes out. It is almost time for football once again and the champs are back. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, Prem's MLB Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)

Cory and Eric Phillips discuss the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 9-6 on July 4, 2025, at Citizens Bank Park. The Reds surged ahead with a five-run third inning, powered by key hits from TJ Friedl, Elly De La Cruz, and Spencer Steer, who drove in two runs. The Phillies fought back, with Nick Castellanos hitting a home run and driving in three runs, while Kyle Schwarber added a two-run double. Despite the Phillies' efforts, the Reds' offense, led by Steer and Tyler Stephenson, held on. Andrew Abbott struggled for the Reds, allowing four runs in 3.1 innings, while Jesús Luzardo took the loss for the Phillies, giving up six runs in two innings. The Reds' bullpen, including Sam Moll, secured the win

The MLB trade deadline is at the end of this month! And, the Phillies haven't made a lot of noise thus far in making some deadline moves. But with rumblings of the Phillies moving Nick Castellanos as long as they can get a better right fielder. With that rumor, could the Phillies be more bold than fans thought at the deadline?

Justin Morganstein discusses Bryce Harper's legacy as a Phillie with his 13-year $330 million contract officially halfway done. Plus, breaking down Nick Castellanos trade rumors and another dominant week from the Phils starting rotation.

The Phillies salvaged a six-game road trip by winning two of three this weekend in Atlanta.They scored 13 runs on Friday, but only three runs the rest of the weekend. What can save this Phillies' offense? It should help to get Bryce Harper back in the lineup. He could return as early as Monday night's series opener against the Padres. But really this team is going to live and die with what they already have: Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, etc. And maybe Otto Kemp. And maybe Justin Crawford. The external options to improve this lineup don't seem to be there, unless you think Jarren Duran, Taylor Ward, Cedric Mullins, Luis Robert Jr., Adolis Garcia are difference makers.Ranger Suárez is on another ridiculous run. What contract might he get in free agency?It's “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

Nick Castellanos was benched for "inappropriate comments" made to manager Rob Thomson, prompting discussion on managerial authority, with Gio wondering if Aaron Boone would do the same. This occurred as the Yankees suffered their third consecutive shutout loss, extending their scoreless streak to 29 innings. Meanwhile, the Mets blew a 3-run lead in Atlanta, and Francisco Alvarez had a rough defensive night. Juan Soto was controversially doubled out on a flyball, blaming the umpires. Other news included Russell Wilson's commitment to practice, the Panthers winning their second straight Stanley Cup, and the Jets signing a 243-pound USFL kicker. The segment ended with old tweets of BT criticizing Boomer's suits resurfacing.

Nick Castellanos was benched last night because he said something to Manager Rob Thomson that crossed the line. Gio wondered if Aaron Boone would do that if he was in the same situation. Boomer compared this situation in Philly to a position he was in with the Bengals and Sam Wyche. Gio thinks maybe we're seeing a turn where managers won't let players walk all over them.
