Will The Phillies Get Out Of Their Slump? (PST Episode 578)

Will the Phillies get out of their slump? That’s the million dollar question as this team appears to have some recent momentum. But they’re still not firing on all cylinders as they were prior to the All-Star break. We dove into this team and what we’ve been seeing on the field with Tim Kelly from PhilliesNation.com. Can the pitching and batting get back to form?But first, we discussed how Eagles GM Howie Roseman likes to get ahead of the market when it comes to signing free agent players. Which players do we feel he needs to target and give that contract extension to?
