Cristopher Sanchez Appreciation Day | PHLY Phillies Podcast

 It’s Cristopher Sanchez Appreciation Day on the PHLY Phillies Podcast! After a dominant 2025 season that saw Sanchez elevate himself into one of the National League’s elite pitchers and finish 2nd in NL Cy Young voting, we break down how he took the leap, from his improved strikeout rate to his elite changeup to why hitters simply couldn’t figure him out this year. We also dive into what’s next for the Phillies’ pitching staff, including: 🔥Ranger Suárez’s free-agency outlook. What could his market look like? Will the Phillies be able to keep him? Could the Phillies trade one of their three lefty relievers? Who makes the most sense to move, and who’s too valuable to part with? If you love Phillies talk, pitching deep-dives, you’re in the right place. Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know how high Sanchez ranks on your 2025 Phillies MVP list!
