Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson addressed the “running it back” narrative, defending the club’s roster construction and outlining the team’s offseason approach The Philadelphia Phillies entered the offseason with expectations shaped by recent October runs and a roster still built to contend. As winter turned toward spring, however, a familiar narrative began to take hold among fans and analysts alike: that the Phillies were standing pat rather than pushing forward. Much of that perception centered on the return of Kyle Schwarber, whose re-signing anchored the offseason but failed to satisfy those hoping for another marquee addition. With spring training approaching, that criticism reached the dugout. And on Tuesday, Phillies manager Rob Thomson made it clear he was no longer willing to let the “roster construction” narrative go unchallenged. Are the Phillies really just ‘running it back’? Speaking to reporters, Thomson directly addressed the growing belief that president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski had opted for complacency rather than calculated change.

Emilee Chinn/Getty Images “We got three new relievers, a new right fielder, (Justin) Crawford’s gonna have every chance to play, a rookie starting pitcher, Otto Kemp who wasn’t here at the start of last year,” Thomson said. “That’s 20–25% of the roster. If you think that’s running it back, or whatever the saying is, I don’t know what to tell ya.” Measured additions, familiar core Beyond Schwarber’s return, the Phillies leaned into stability by reuniting with J.T. Realmuto while adding Adolis García to handle right field duties. In the bullpen, the most notable move came with the signing of Brad Keller, a two-year investment intended to stabilize late innings rather than redefine them. Phillies’ strategy The Phillies’ strategy is now clear: retain trusted veterans, supplement with short-term experience, and rely on young contributors to bridge the gap. Whether that approach proves sufficient will be judged quickly once camp opens. If internal growth materializes, Thomson’s defense will look prescient. If not, the “running it back” narrative may only grow louder as expectations collide with results.

Travis Kelce supported Andy Reid's idea of bringing Eric Bieniemy in as the Chiefs' new offensive coordinator following the departure of Matt Nagy. The Kansas City Chiefs decided to part ways with Matt Nagy. During his New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce was fully on board with Andy Reid replacing him with Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator. The legendary tight end said that Bieniemy’s ability is such that his impact was very noticeable in 2025 as running backs coach with the Chicago Bears, as part of the staff led by Ben Johnson. “He’s going to pick up right where he left off. Eric Bieniemy and who he is as a coach, you could see kind of his personality and what he brings to the table in that Chicago team. I know Ben Johnson has his own version of that, he’s a very tough guy and what he did in Detroit, he brought over as well. But you can see those running backs over Chicago. Their body of work was definitely Eric Bieniemy’s style of football.” Chiefs lose coach for 2026 season The Chiefs will lose Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator for the 2026 season. In addition to receiving offers to become head coach of other teams, general manager Brett Veach and Andy Reid do not seem inclined to renew his contract. The cost of losing Eric Bieniemy for Chiefs Many experts say that since Eric Bieniemy left the Chiefs in 2022, Patrick Mahomes’ offense hasn’t been the same. Although they won a Super Bowl in 2023 with Nagy as offensive coordinator and reached another in 2024, the decline of that unit eventually reached an irreversible point this season. Therefore, given the need to revamp the offense, Bieniemy could be the answer Reid is looking for. If you add to that the ingredient of bringing fresh scheme ideas from his experience working with Ben Johnson, the result could be outstanding.
