Phillies Target Roster Changes Postseason

The Philadelphia Phillies are actively seeking to bolster their roster in the offseason, particularly eyeing Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet to enhance their rotation, following their disappointing NLDS exit to the New York Mets. Additionally, the Phillies have been linked to superstar free agent Juan Soto, although his signing remains unlikely as he is expected to return to the Yankees or join the Mets. In trade talks, the Phillies have shown interest in acquiring Nolan Arenado from the Cardinals, especially if they decide to trade Alec Bohm. Another potential move could involve trading Nick Castellanos, as they aim to reduce the lineup's swing-and-miss tendency. Meanwhile, the Phillies face bullpen uncertainties with Carlos Estévez likely leaving for the Cubs in free agency. The team also has to consider Bryce Harper’s contract extension, as his agent expresses Harper's desire for a long-term future in Philadelphia.
