Phillies Nation Podcast: Impressions from a lively Clearwater with Destiny Lugardo

Phillies Nation‘s Destiny Lugardo joins this episode of the Phillies Nation Podcast to share observations from her trip down to Clearwater, where the Phillies kicked off Spring Training last week.

Lugardo and Nathan Ackerman discuss the chemistry, trash talk and overall liveliness at Phillies camp in the early going, Andrew Painter‘s maturity as a 19-year-old vying for the starting rotation, Noah Song‘s improbable yet non-zero shot at cracking the 26-man roster (and the various options at the Phillies’ disposal), Trea Turner‘s gracefulness and plenty more. That’s all after kicking the show off with a discussion about Rhys Hoskins’ and the Phillies’ reported lack of traction on a contract extension.
