The Philadelphia are facing a number of challenges as we head into August. It’s not just how they’re playing on the field, but also what’s happening behind the scenes. Can they overcome the many challenges that are persisting? This week, Destiny Lugardo from PhilliesNation.com joined the pod for a deep dive into what’s ailing this team, can they get the help needed to fix it, and can this season be a success?
But first, Jeff and Erik got into the biggest news in Philly sports - the Sixers signing LeBron James and what it means for the team this coming season. (Approx. 3:35)
From there, they discussed DT Jalen Carter’s new contract extension, and the good vibes thus far around Eagles Training Camp. (Approx. 16:35)
The guys then dove into the rift between Bryce Harper, Don Mattingly and Dave Dombrowski and how this has impacted the team. (Approx. 30:00)
What they threw down on the Table this week was a great discussion with Destiny Lugardo from Phillies Nation about where the Phillies stand as August is here. What could and should Dombrowski do before the MLB trade deadline? What’s happened to Brandon Marsh? Assessing Justin Crawford’s season thus far. What, if anything, should be done with Trea Turner?
