The Philadelphia Phillies are expected to be active in the MLB offseason, particularly in the outfield, with potential targets like Tyler O'Neill from the Boston Red Sox and even a long-shot interest in Juan Soto. O'Neill, a more affordable option, hit 31 home runs last season, making him a viable candidate to bolster the Phillies' roster. The team is also considering extending pitcher Ranger Suárez, who had a strong 2024 season, to maintain stability in their rotation. Phillies president Dave Dombrowski emphasized a cautious approach to high-profile acquisitions like Soto, suggesting that the team may not necessarily need more star players. The Cubs are similarly considering their need for star power this offseason, highlighting a broader MLB trend of balancing star acquisitions with internal development. Both teams' strategies reflect the importance of having key players to help navigate slumps.
