The Eagles are on the mat. They have been knocked down and humbled for 3 straight weeks. Philly is a city known for the concept of 'getting up off the mat' and fighting. It's in our DNA. This Sunday, at the Linc, we will see if the defending Super Bowl Champions can harness that and get a win over an inferior team with nothing to play for but putting good material on film for agents. Jalen Hurts has been berated, put down, and there are actually calls to bench the Super Bowl MVP. Only in Philly. The Las Vegas Raiders come in to town with their poor offense and shoddy defense, but local kid Kenny Pickett will be under center to try and get a win. We will learn a lot about this Birds team on Sunday at 1PM. The Phillies are bringing back Schwarber and Rob Thomson and attempting to finally win that World Series ring with this group. Time will tell if they also bring JT Realmuto back, as free agency pushes on. The Sixers are exciting and Maxey is a superstar, but this is not a championship caliber team.

The Philadelphia 76ers have so much promise in their backcourt while also have an albatross that is the Joel Embiid health situation that isn't helping this team. We've seen real good stuff from the Sixers this season, and not-so-good stuff. This week, Sean Barnard from Fox Sports Philly's The Gambler and Draft Kings joined us for a great discussion about what we've seen from this team, and where they may be heading here in mid-December.But first, the guys dove into some Eagles and NFL talk. They discussed the Eagles offensive narrative, and also talked about Philip Rivers coming back to the NFL for the Colts at the age of 44. (Approx. 5:05)From there, they got into a discussion about recent moves the Phillies have made: re-signing Kyle Schwarber and extending manager Rob Thomson until 2027. Plus, they reflected on a tweet from Buster Olney about players in the Steroid Era and how the MLB Hall Of Fame has handled that situation over the decades. (Approx. 27:05)Then they talked about whether the Sixers should look at brining Malik Beasley onto the team to help with 3-point shooting. (Approx. 41:05)What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Sean Barnard from Fox Sports Philly's The Gambler about where this Sixers team is at as we enter mid-December. Is Nick Nurse giving Tyrese Maxey too many minutes per game? Can the team dig itself out of the 3rd quarter narrative? How has Paul George contributed when on the court?  All of this and much more this week on the Table!

Ben Maller talks about Kyle Schwarber deciding to stay with the Philadelphia Phillies and signing a 5-year deal, the Phillies also deciding to extend manager Rob Thomson, Pete Alonso showing up to the Winter Meetings in person, Too Much or Not Enough, #QueenOfHearts w/ LaReina, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kyle Schwarber is back with the Phillies. What does it mean for the team, their window of contention and their ability to add to the MLB roster this winter? Hosts John Stolnis, Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher discuss the Schwarber deal, what's next for Dave Dombrowski and the front office, as well as Rob Thomson's contract extension and the Mets losing closer Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers on Episode 1035 of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY!

The fellas are VERY happy on the latest episode of Phillies Talk after the news broke that Kyle Schwarber is returning to the Phillies on a 5-year deal worth $150 million. Bob Cooney and Spencer McKercher break down the contract, take a look at Rob Thomson's contract extension, and dive into the latest rumors from the Winter Meetings. 

Philadelphia Eagles' Hall of Famer Lesean McCoy said on his show "Speakeasy" that the Eagles can take him out of their Hall of Fame if Kevin Patullo is back as OC next season.Flyers beat the Sharks 4-1 The Phillies resign Kyle Schwarber and extend Rob Thomson. Gametime Ticket Offer: $20 off with code "FARZY" at gametime.co The Farzy Show presented by MyBookie Promo: No-strings-attached cash bonus up to $200 Promo Codes: FARZY ..  https://mybookie.website/joinwithFARZYManscaped Offer: 20% off AND Free Shipping with code "Farzy20" at Manscaped.comCopyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

The offseason really planted its flag this week, and Episode 123 of Tablesetters is loaded. The Dodgers doubled down on their super-team bullpen by landing Edwin Díaz on a record-setting three-year deal, instantly changing the late-inning landscape and raising the bar yet again on what an all-in contender looks like. In the same tier of aggression, the Phillies are keeping their tone-setter at home, re-signing Kyle Schwarber on a five-year, $150 million pact while also locking in Rob Thomson through 2027 to extend the most successful run of Phillies baseball in a decade. We dig into how Díaz's contract reshapes the relief market, what it says about the Dodgers' willingness to blow past every financial line on the board, and how the Mets' choice to pivot to Devin Williams looks now that their former star closer is in L.A. From there, we shift to Philadelphia: why Schwarber's deal breaks every “rule” for 33-year-old DHs, what it means for the rest of the power market, how Thomson's extension fits their “job's not done” mentality, and what the Phillies still have to solve with J.T. Realmuto, the outfield, and the rotation. It hasn't been a quiet week in Queens, either. Pete Alonso is back on the open market, talking to teams at the Winter Meetings while reports out of Orlando suggest the Mets are hesitant to go beyond three guaranteed years. We break down why Alonso's profile is so polarizing in today's game, why a reunion feels more like a late-offseason outcome than a sure thing, and how his market ties back into Schwarber's deal, Cody Bellinger's next move, and the first-base/DH shuffle across the league. On the future side of things, the Chicago White Sox win the 2026 MLB Draft Lottery and secure the No. 1 overall pick, with the Rays and Twins right behind them. We walk through how the lottery rules shaped this year's order, why the Giants and Royals come out as surprise winners, which clubs slid down the board, and how names like Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson, and Justin Lebron could shape the next few years. And in Cooperstown news, Jeff Kent finally gets the call from the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee. We talk about his case as the most powerful second baseman ever, why he stalled out with the writers, and what the new Era Committee rules mean for Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Gary Sheffield, and the rest of the PED-era lightning rods going forward. We close by zooming in on Boston, where the Red Sox are kicking the tires on Eugenio Suárez as they hunt for impact power at third base and possibly first/DH. We get into what Suárez brings at this stage of his career, how his strikeout and chase issues complicate the fit, what it signals about their Plan A with Alex Bregman, and how Masataka Yoshida's situation could dictate where the Sox go next. Steve and Devin are taking you through every angle — the signings, the extensions, the Hall of Fame fallout, the draft lottery results, and how all of it ties together as the hot stove finally starts to cook. ⚾️ Superteams loading up, power bats getting paid, futures being rewritten — the offseason is officially in full swing.

The annual baseball Winter Meetings were quiet — until suddenly they weren't. Within a span of minutes, news broke that the Philadelphia Phillies had re-signed Kyle Schwarber, bringing him back to the City of Brotherly Love. While the move wasn't entirely surprising, it was the news that followed that left the baseball world shaking.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Edwin Díaz away from the New York Mets to a three-year, $69 million contract, taking the trumpets out west. The move fills a much-needed void in the Dodgers' bullpen and has people wondering if it could be key to a potential three-peat.Later, Jake and Jordan talk about the Phillies bringing Schwarber back and why it made sense for them to commit five years and $150 million. They also discuss Philadelphia giving manager Rob Thomson a contract extension and speculate about the possibility of Don Mattingly joining as a bench coach to support the veteran skipper. 1:25 – Dodgers sign Edwin Díaz9:42 – How this affects the Mets19:00 – Phillies re-sign Kyle Schwarber31:00 – Rob Thomson gets an extension Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
