Philadelphia Phillies Wiretap

The Chicago White Sox selected UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick Saturday, taking the consensus top prospect in this year's class despite late buzz around Grady Emerson and Vahn Lackey. Cholowsky posted a 1.088 OPS during his junior season and profiles as a well-rounded shortstop with a fast track to the majors.

The Tampa Bay Rays followed by selecting Fort Worth Christian High School shortstop Grady Emerson, the top-ranked high school position player in the draft. Emerson earned Gatorade National Player of the Year honors and fills a need for a Rays organization still searching for stability at shortstop.

The Minnesota Twins took Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey third overall after he hit .397 with 20 home runs this season, continuing the school's pipeline of first-round catchers.

The San Francisco Giants then selected UC Santa Barbara right-hander Jackson Flora fourth, the top pitching prospect in a class considered thin on arms.

The Pittsburgh Pirates rounded out the top five by taking LSU outfielder Derek Curiel, a draft-eligible sophomore who batted .353 with strong instincts in center field.

Cristopher Sanchez of the Philadelphia Phillies will start Tuesday's All-Star Game for the National League in his home ballpark, facing Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays for the American League. The Blue Jays confirmed Cease's start on Sunday, while Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who is managing the NL squad, named Sanchez as his starter.

Roberts explained the decision to hand Sanchez the honor in his home city.

"I think he deserves it. He's the hometown ballplayer and I think the city of Philly will enjoy watching him and supporting him," said Roberts. "I had a conversation with him this morning. ... He was very grateful. In a time when guys are not wanting to participate, this guy in the Midsummer Classic for fans, I think this is a good thing. He's very excited about pitching."

Sanchez enters the game with an 11-4 record and a 2.62 ERA, ranking third in the majors with 144 strikeouts. His 50 2/3-inning scoreless streak has been one of the season's top pitching storylines.

Cease is 6-4 with a 2.56 ERA for Toronto and nearly threw his second career no-hitter Wednesday against San Francisco before it was broken up in the ninth inning. He becomes the first Blue Jays pitcher to start the All-Star Game since Roy Halladay in 2009.

Cease learned of the assignment from Blue Jays manager John Schneider, who will lead the AL squad, during a team meeting Sunday.

"It's pretty surreal. I didn't know what to say. Everyone's saying, 'Give a speech,' and I'm like, I was pretty speechless, so it was just a really cool experience," said Cease. "It's really cool how all of these things have lined up, you know, even being able to pitch in it and having a good enough first half to be in the running for it and all that. And the fact that pretty much our entire staff is going, it's really a really great recipe."

Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler said he declined an invitation to be added to the National League All-Star roster, adding that he felt "disrespected" by being snubbed multiple times.

Wheeler did not make the initial NL All-Star roster, which was revealed last weekend, and also was not among several replacement additions announced Tuesday.

The veteran right-hander told reporters that he was invited Friday by Major League Baseball to join the NL roster as an injury replacement but refused, saying he was "not gonna be the fifth option.""They disrespected me, so I'm just not going to participate in that thing," Wheeler said Saturday, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Bryce Harper will compete in the Home Run Derby for the first time in eight years, this time representing the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Harper announced the decision Thursday via social media, captioning his post, "Derby at home? Sure why not?"

Harper previously won the event in 2018 while playing for the Washington Nationals, launching 45 home runs at Nationals Park. He topped future teammate Kyle Schwarber in that final.

Harper made this year's All-Star Game as a legend selection. He becomes the sixth player to join the Derby field, alongside Jordan Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals, Ben Rice of the New York Yankees, Willson Contreras of the Boston Red Sox, Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays and Jac Caglianone of the Kansas City Royals.

Harper and Caminero are the only two competitors with prior Derby experience. Harper remains the lone past champion in the group, with two spots still open in the eight-player field.

Only four players in Derby history have won at their home ballpark. Harper is aiming to become the first to accomplish that feat twice, and the first to do it with two different franchises.

A win would also place Harper among an exclusive group of multiple-time Derby champions that includes Prince Fielder, Yoenis Cespedes, Pete Alonso and Ken Griffey Jr.

The Home Run Derby takes place Monday night at Citizens Bank Park.

Major League Baseball revealed its 2026 All-Star Game starting lineups Saturday, with Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani topping the fan vote and three teammates joining him in the National League's starting group.

Ohtani will serve as designated hitter for the NL, appearing alongside Freddie Freeman at first base, Max Muncy at third and Andy Pages in the outfield. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Ohtani probably won't pitch in the exhibition after they altered his workload schedule.

Additional NL starters include Juan Soto of the New York Mets, Brandon Marsh of the Philadelphia Phillies, CJ Abrams of the Washington Nationals, and Atlanta Braves duo Ozzie Albies and Drake Baldwin.

American League voting leader Ernie Clement will start alongside fellow Toronto Blue Jays infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr., though Guerrero has since withdrawn from the game. Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz will replace him after winning the players' vote at that position.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers and Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez round out the AL infield and battery. Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Byron Buxton comprise the American League's starting outfield.

This year's contest takes place July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Fans selected the starters, while a combination of league officials and current players, managers and coaches chose the reserves.

The Dodgers, Braves and Phillies each landed a league-best five All-Stars apiece. Five starters, Langeliers, Clement, Baldwin, Marsh and Pages, earned their first career selections, while Freeman and Chris Sale are making their 10th appearances.

Trout returns for his 12th All-Star nod and first since 2023, currently recovering from a hamstring injury but expected to play. MLB will feature players wearing original team uniforms this year rather than specialized event jerseys.

Kyle Schwarber became the first major leaguer to reach 30 homers this season with a two-run shot in the seventh inning that sent the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.

The Phillies squandered an early 3-0 lead and fell behind 4-3 before Schwarber hit a 408-foot drive to center field off Kodai Senga (0-7), who was making the first regular-season relief appearance of his big league career.

The White Sox traded veteran outfielder Derek Hill to the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday in a swap between contending teams.

The White Sox also sent $250,000 in international bonus pool money to the Phillies for minor league outfielder Dylan Campbell and minor league infielder José Colmenares.

Hill, 30, is batting .213 with four homers, eight RBIs and seven steals in 50 games this season. He was claimed off waivers by the White Sox in September.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper says MLB's push for a salary cap in collective bargaining agreement talks threatens the sport's hard-won growth in attendance, ratings, and global reach, as owners and players exchange sharply opposed opening proposals.

The MLB Players Association has sought higher minimum salaries, elevated luxury-tax thresholds, and an expanded pre-arbitration bonus program. The league, representing its 30 clubs, countered with a strict cap-and-floor structure modeled after the NHL, along with a 50/50 revenue split.

Harper cited the Los Angeles Dodgers, two-time defending champions carrying a projected competitive-balance-tax payroll above $400 million, as central to baseball's recent growth. He argued a cap would undercut the type of organization driving the sport's popularity.

"Our game is in a great direction, in a great place, because of the Los Angeles Dodgers," Harper said. "Obviously they make a lot of money, they're able to get free agents, but the Dodgers don't just do that. They draft well. They do a very good job in the minors, developing guys. Other teams can't do that. You can spend all the money in the world, but you can have a terrible farm system and not have teams come up."

Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, a back-to-back American League Cy Young Award winner and member of the MLBPA's executive subcommittee, shared Harper's skepticism about the cap's stated rationale.

"I don't think it impacts what they think it impacts in terms of having an even playing field," Skubal told ESPN's Jesse Rogers on Friday. "I don't think that a salary cap does that by any means, so it didn't matter that the floor may have been higher than people thought, even though the ceiling is still kind of low. It doesn't matter what the numbers are, so to speak."

The league's opening cap figure stands at $245.3 million, with a floor of $171.2 million. Under those terms, 12 clubs would need to collectively add $617 million in payroll while eight teams would need to cut a combined $578 million. An escrow mechanism tied to the 50/50 revenue guarantee also drew concern. A comparable NBA system cost players nearly $500 million in a single year.

The last MLB salary cap push ended the 1994 season before a World Series was played. MLBPA interim executive director Bruce Meyer raised that history in his formal response to ownership's proposal Thursday. Another work stoppage is widely expected within six months.

"It's just the first proposal," Harper said. "I don't want to miss games. I don't think anybody wants to miss games. I'm getting later in my career, I don't want to miss games. I would love to get this done, on a personal level, just because I don't want to do that, but we'll see."

With nearly two months of the 2026 season complete, 22 players from the preseason MLB top 100 prospect list have graduated from eligibility, reshuffling the rankings ahead of what figures to be an active trade deadline season.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jesus Made, 19, moves to the top spot after posting 90th percentile exit velocities that rank among big league averages despite playing in Double-A. His ability to control the strike zone and his defensive profile stand out, though scouts note his swing produces insufficient lift to translate his raw power into home run totals. If that changes in the second half, a significant ranking jump could follow.

Among the most notable movers is Boston Red Sox shortstop Franklin Arias, who climbs from 36th to sixth after posting improved exit velocity and lift rates while maintaining contact. Athletics shortstop Leo De Vries jumps to second after his profile helped pry All-Star closer Mason Miller from Oakland. Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Seth Hernandez rises from 49th to seventh after slider and fastball shape improvements unlocked his ceiling.

Notable graduates from the list include the previous top two prospects, Konnor Griffin and Kevin McGonigle, along with Samuel Basallo, JJ Wetherholt, Bubba Chandler, Carson Benge, Andrew Painter, and Carson Williams, among others.

Seven players currently on active big league rosters remain eligible but could graduate within weeks.

Alex Cora has turned down an offer to manage the Philadelphia Phillies, just three days after the Boston Red Sox let him go, The Post's Jon Heyman confirmed. Bench coach Don Mattingly will instead lead the club on an interim basis.

Philadelphia approached Cora after dismissing Rob Thomson on Tuesday, with the reigning NL East champions mired at 9-19, tied with the New York Mets for the worst record in baseball.

Cora and Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski share prior history. The two worked together in Boston from 2018-19, winning a World Series title in Cora's first season as manager. The Red Sox dismissed Dombrowski after the 2019 season despite an 84-78 record.

Boston fired Cora on Saturday following a 10-17 start that left the Red Sox in last place in the AL East. His farewell message to fans on social media notably omitted president of baseball operations Craig Breslow and owner John Henry.

Mattingly, 65, takes over with 12 years of managerial experience spanning the Los Angeles Dodgers (2011-15) and Miami Marlins (2016-22). He carries a career 446-363 record. His first game leading Philadelphia comes Tuesday night at home against the San Francisco Giants.

Mattingly's performance in the interim role could determine whether the Phillies revisit a pursuit of Cora this offseason.
