Phillies Eye Offseason Moves for 2025

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.
