What Went Wrong For The Phillies? Offseason Analysis | Hittin' Season

The Hittin' Season podcast returns as we look ahead to the offseason following the 2026 Phillies season.

Fans aren't enthused by Dave Dombrowski's news conference or his plan to keep Trea Turner at shortstop. Can he get the Phils back as one of baseball's elite teams? Also, we preview the World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, and we talk Phillies prospects with Mitch Rupert.
