And the Phillies performed removed from their finest baseball down the stretch as they noticed themselves bounced early within the 2024 postseason.
As they head into the offseason, Philadelphia goes to want to make some type of adjustments to enhance going into subsequent season.

“Coming off a career-best season, the 28-year-old (Alec) Bohm nonetheless finds himself on the commerce block,” Passan wrote. “Whereas he was a well-above-average hitter — .280/.332/.448 with 61 extra-base hits — his first-half OPS was practically 150 factors increased than within the second half, and the Phillies need to shake up their crew after a disappointing postseason ouster by the (New York) Mets.”
Bohm was super throughout the first half of the yr, as Passan acknowledged. Manufacturing like that can have his commerce worth fairly excessive this winter, particularly since he will not hit free company till 2027.
Loads of groups can be prepared to make a deal for a 28-year-old All-Star nook infielder. The New York Yankees, Houston Astros, Boston Crimson Sox, and Mets all make sense, but it surely’s the Seattle Mariners that take advantage of sense for either side.
Seattle is extremely deep at beginning pitcher whereas the Phillies want so as to add one arm to their massive league roster. There’s hope that prime prospect Andrew Painter can fill that spot, but when the Mariners are prepared to deal an arm like Luis Castillo, he would match with Philadelphia a lot better.
