It’s Thanksgiving Week, which means the holidays are here.

Is there any chance that Juan Soto signs with the Phillies? They have not met yet with Soto, but there are expectations they will. There is a report that the Phils have not communicated with Scott Boras, who is Soto’s agent. We hear otherwise. Regardless, the Phillies’ chances at signing Soto remains a longshot.

Ruben, Jim and Todd get into the holiday spirit by talking about what they’re thankful for in the game of baseball.

Todd will be signing copies of “Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay” on Saturday, November 20 from noon to 2 p.m. at the New Era Phillies Team Store at Citizens Bank Park. Stop by!

If you can’t make it, Todd also signs personalized copies of “Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay at bytoddzolecki.com.

Luke Murton is the Phillies’ new player development director, following Preston Mattingly’s recent promotion to GM.

Murton spent the past two years as the Minor League’s hitting development director, but he also split his team scouting amateur players that he thought would be good to bring into the system. One of those players was top prospect Aidan Miller. Murton talks about his journey from Georgia Teach to Yankees minor leaguer to scout with the Giants and Padres to Phils’ farm director.

He talks about his hitting and pitching philosophies, top prospects like Miller and Justin Crawford and more.

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler finished second for NL Cy Young for the second time in the four years.

This year, he finished behind Atlanta’s Chris Sale.

We discuss the vote, but also dig into an interesting story by MLB.com’s Mike Petriello, who suggests Wheeler is on a Hall of Fame track anyway. He needs a few more dominant years to put him into serious contention, but there is a strong argument to be made.

We also discuss Friday night’s non-tender deadline. Is Austin Hays non-tendered?

There’s some Juan Soto and Roki Sasaki talk and 40-man roster stuff, too!

Dave Dombrowski said after the NLDS that “sometimes you trade good players for good players.” Ever since, Phillies fans have wondered who Dombrowski might trade to help the Phils win the 2025 World Series?

Ruben, Jim and Todd spend the episode discussing the players who have the most trade value for other teams, including Alec Bohm, Ranger Suárez, Bryson Stott and top prospects like Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller and Justin Crawford.

Are Nick Castellanos, Brandon Marsh, Johan Rojas and others in the conversation, too? Yes, they are.

Jayson Werth is not only a 2008 World Series champion, but he’s a Belmont Stakes champion.

His horse Dornoch won the Belmont this summer. It was such an unbelievable experience that Werth is spreading the word about horse racing, showing people how they can get involved in it, too.

You can follow Werth’s horse-racing teams on Instagram at @twoeightracing and @iconracinglfg

Werth talked to Ruben, Jim and Todd about the Belmont and his love for the sport. But he also talked plenty of baseball, including former teammates Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Chase Utley, what it’s like winning in Philadelphia, resurrecting his baseball career in Philadelphia and more!

John Middleton said Friday at Penn that “we’ll probably not win” the Juan Soto sweepstakes. It’s not a surprise, but it was as candid as anybody had been in talking about the Phillies’ chances to sign the superstar outfielder.

So, the Phillies don’t expect to sign Soto. Do they have any chance at signing Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki? His team announced they will post him for MLB teams, but everybody considers West Coast teams like the Dodgers, Giants and Padres to have a huge advantage over the Phils, who have not signed a Japanese player direct from Japan in their history.

The guys also talk about the Phillies’ front office shake up and more.

Dave Dombrowski keeps saying the Phillies are “open minded” this offseason. He said it last month following the Phillies’ early exit in the NLDS. He said it a few more times this week at the GM Meetings in San Antonio.

“We need to be more open minded about possible moves.”

Ruben, Jim and Todd think Dombrowski is telling everybody that he is going to make a trade. Or two.

The guys talk about Dombrowski’s other comments at the GM Meetings, plus answer your questions, including ones about Alex Bregman, Mike Trout, Devin Williams, Steven Kwan, Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Walker Buehler and more.

Do the Phillies have any chance at signing free-agent superstar Juan Soto? Dave Dombrowski said last month that he doesn’t think the Phillies need more star players. John Middleton said last week that it’s “hard to go much crazier with the payroll.”

The Yankees and Mets are the heavy favorites to land Soto because they have the most money to spend.

Ruben, Jim and Todd lay out the reasons why Soto won’t sign with the Phillies. But they also come up with scenarios in which they could surprise people.
