Podcast appearances and mentions of ruben amaro

The 94 WIP Morning team asks Ben Davis and Ruben Amaro about other potential moves for the Phillies. The Phillies have been linked to Steven Kwan and Luis Robert Jr. Ben and Ruben are higher on Kwan than Robert, but the price will be high. Neither Ben nor Ruben are Luis Robert Jr. fans. Ruben says part of the reason Dombrowski hadn't made moves in years past was because he didn't know how good the prospects he had were to us for trades.

To get Jhoan Duran, the Phillies gave up Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait, two prospects who were in the MLB's Top 100 prospects list. The 94 WIP Morning Show with Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis on Deadline Day understand the potential that Abel and Tait could be great, but Duran is a great player.

Joe DeCamara of the 94 WIP Morning Show asks former Phillies GM Ruben Amaro some questions about his days as a GM. When Ruben was the GM of the Phillies, he tried to make a deal with Dave Dombrowski before- Ruben says Dombrowski is shrewd and knows what he wants. Hear a taste of what it's like being in the shoes of a GM on Deadline Day!

Joe DeCamara of the 94 WIP Morning Show picks Ruben Amaro's brain about what it was like being a GM during deadline day. Will the Phillies make another move? Jame Seltzer and Rhea Hughes don't think the Phillies would go out and get Jhoan Duran if they weren't going to add another piece. Joe DeCamara thinks Rocky II is the best ending to a movie. Time's Yours!

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show and discuss who else the Phillies could go out and get. They both think Steven Kwan is the most enticing. Ruben believes that the reason Dave Dombrowski didn't go all in in years past is because he didn't know what types of prospects he had.

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show and add their insights into the trade deadline. Ruben and Ben are fired up about Jhoan Duran! Ruben thinks the Phillies need to make another move, but it might be a marginal one. Ben and Ruben both like Steven Kwan, but think the price will be high. Neither are excited about Luis Robert Jr.

It's Deadline Day and the 94 WIP Morning Show, broadcasting from MaGerk's, is excited about the Phillies' trade for pitcher Jhoan Duran, even though it meant giving up prospects Eduardo Tait and Mick Abel. It was a high price, but Duran has proven he can produce, so the Morning crew thinks this was a good deal. In his press conference last night, Dombrowski sounded confident they were going to make another move today. Listen to the whole press conference here! Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis joined the show, sharing their thoughts from a different perspective as both played in the MLB, and Ruben was a GM. They are very positive about Duran and think the Phillies have to make another move. Both Ruben and Ben would like to see the Phillies trade for Steven Kwan but aren't as high on Luis Robert Jr.

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show to react to the Jhoan Duran trade and to preview the rest of the trade deadline which comes up at 6pm tonight! Ben and Ruben are pumped about the trade!

Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis share some of their insights with the 94 WIP Morning team about what it's like as GM's and players at the deadline. Ruben Amaro thinks it's important for the Phillies to try and add today, but thinks it will be a marginal move. Ben Davis says as a player, this can be an exciting time.

Ruben Amaro Jr. and Jim Salisbury join the 94 WIP Morning Show for an in-depth look at the state of the Phillies as the MLB Trade Deadline looms. Can the team make the right move to take the next step? And are they built to compete with contenders like the Dodgers in October? Don't miss the expert insights and bold predictions.

On Episode 989 of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps Wednesday night's awful loss to the Red Sox and tries to get to the bottom of Jesus Luzardo's struggles. Also, Cristopher Sanchez is now a bona fide ace, John goes inside the numbers on what makes him so special. And what are the latest Trade Rumors surrounding the Phils? John breaks down all the latest. Could the Phils move Ranger Suarez or Luzardo this summer? Show Notes: Disastrous loss in the finale Phillies blow a 5-0 lead, HRs from Schwarber, Harper, Castellanos & Stott, Realmuto It's the Phils' first loss in a game they homered five or more times since June 10, 2019. They haven't won three in a row since June 18-20. Blame Realmuto & Luzardo, who had a no-hitter going into the 5th, gives us 6 in the 5th after walking in two runs then serving up a grand slam FELL APART WHILE PITCHING FROM THE STRETCH AGAIN Thomson said they have to keep digging and working on what's wrong with Luzardo, specifically in the stretch Since June 11, opponents have hit .192/.252/.253 with 37 strikeouts and eight walks when there is no one on base against Luzardo. With runners on base, those numbers jump to .339/.443/.576, 16 strikeouts and 11 walks. (Gelb) Gelb says he went back to his old mechanics last night, but it still didn't work Jesus Luzardo says he is working day and night to fix his issues and he says they need to be fixed. He says teams are hitting him hard when he is pitching out of the stretch. He says it is not on JT Realmuto losing that foul ball pop-up. He says he and other Phillies lost it as well. Manager Rob Thomson says Jesus Luzardo lost his concentration. Phillies now 3-8 in Luzardo's last 11 starts They've now given Luzardo 3-0, 4-1 and 5-0 leads in July only to have him lose all 3 of them. He posted a 2.15 ERA in his first 11 starts. He allowed 20 runs in his next two. He made significant mechanical changes when pitching from the stretch, and it's resulted in only a 4.79 ERA over his last nine starts. UNLESS LUZARDO FIGURES THIS OUT, THEIR ENTIRE OFF-SEASON WILL HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE The good news is this is a mechanical issue… which would indicate to me it CAN be fixed… but can they fix it in time? PITCH TIPPING: The Red Sox are renowned for doing this. Two pitches later, Story doubled home a run. THIS WAS NOT A STRONG ROB THOMSON GAME Luzardo should have been pulled after the second straight bases loaded walk, but got Jordan Romano up too late… after the game, Thomson admitted that was a mistake Pinch-ran Weston Wilson for Kyle Schwarber in the 10th after Schwarber's RBI single… Wilson, who is not fast… thrown out trying to steal 2nd to end the 10th With Wilson already used, Max Kepler had to face a lefty reliever and watched a called strike three to end the game in the 11th, instead of having Wilson available to pinch hit Rob Thomson on the 5th inning tonight: Said they have to keep digging and working on what's wrong with Luzardo, specifically in the stretch Harper's home run was the 350th of his career Bryce Harper tonight became the youngest of the 8 active players to reach 350 career home runs joining Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout, Paul Goldschmidt, Manny Machado, Freddie Freeman, Nolan Arenado, Aaron Judge. Kyle Schwarber's 34 HR are the 3rd-most through 102 games in Phillies franchise history, behind only Ryan Howard in 2006 and Mike Schmidt in 1979 -- both had 36. Cristopher Sanchez is a TRUE ACE: https://www.thegoodphight.com/2025/7/23/24472912/cristopher-sanchez-is-a-real-bona-fide-cy-young-contender WHEELER & SANCHEZ This gives the Phillies a leg-up in the postseason No one can match what the Phillies can do in the playoffs STARK ON SCHWARBER Says he believes Schwarber will be back here 4 years, $100 million is the number… how is he going to have a better deal four years AFTER the first free agent contract??? TRADE DEADLINE LATEST: Jayson Stark on 975 the Fanatic w/ Mikey Miss: Dombrowski wants to use his biggest chips to trade for a big time power bullpen arm controllable beyond this year, Duran, Bautista, no on Miller or Clase If he gets one, it's a right-handed platoon bat that falls into his lap Bullpen arm is more important than a bat Jeff Passan: The Phillies have quietly built up one of the best farm systems in baseball, and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski's history of trading prospects for impact talent is unmatched. Still, with the Phillies entering a transition phase over the next few years, they aren't likely to sacrifice all of their depth. That complicates their tack at this deadline, because they are among the few teams with the need and capacity to acquire a pitcher of Clase's talent. Same goes for Cade Smith, another Guardian, and the Twins' two frontline relievers, Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. Getting David Robertson for $6 million certainly helps matters and serves as insurance against objectionable demands on high-end relief pitchers. And yet adding Robertson plus a high-octane relief arm alongside Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm gives the Phillies a representative back end. If they can also add a right-handed-hitting outfielder with power -- Adolis Garcia is in the mix, and Luis Robert Jr. would play, too -- it will be a successful deadline for a team whose starting pitching is good enough to carry it deep into October. Ruben Amaro & Jim Salisbury on Phillies Show Very interesting stuff on the show from Amaro (doesn't think they'll be able to get a lock down closer), Aiden Miller might be more untouchable than Painter, and the clubhouse talking about Eugenio Suarez (Salisbury). @JohnnyPhisher: Phillies need a RHH OF @Buster_ESPN: A surprise name has emerged in the starting pitcher market: Dylan Cease, who will be eligible for free agency at year's end. Perception of other teams is that the Padres are intent on making a push for the playoffs, and would use Cease to help fill other roster needs. Mets, AL East teams, Cubs among teams that have talked about him. COULD THE PHILLIES DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH RANGER SUAREZ OR JESUS LUZARDO? Jo Adell started slow, but on May 6 he hit a 9th inning HR in a blowout that got things going for him. Since then (67 gms) he has a .907 OPS (top 20 in MLB) with 19 HR (T-6th), and his .563 SLG is higher than any Phillies player. An interesting name: Dane Myers. Plays center field for the Marlins. The right-handed 29 year is wailing on lefties: .324/.385/.493, .878 OPS, 2 HRs, 13 RBIs in 78 PAs, 6 doubles. Would be a platoon guy. The Phillies and Padres are two of the many teams that have expressed interest in Steven Kwan, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Both National League contenders are known to be looking for a left field upgrade.
