## Resource

The Phillies are drafting at 36 in the 2026 MLB Draft—down from their top-10 streak—thanks to penalties, putting them in the same late-pick group as the Yankees, Mets, and Dodgers. While it’s a tough spot, it’s a sign of a strong, competitive team building organically. After five straight top-10 picks that landed stars like Nola and Bohm, they’ve now gone eight years outside the top 10. With Gage Wood already their top prospect and a need for pitching depth, expect them to aggressively target arms in 2026—especially with multiple picks including a compensation round. Win-now mode is on, and the Phillies are ready to build through the draft. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
