Ask Phillies Nation: Which reliever should the Phillies re-sign?

The back end of the Phillies bullpen should look a lot different next year. Héctor Neris, Archie Bradley and Ian Kennedy are all set to become free agents after the 2021 season.

Neris, the longest tenured Phillie, lost the closer’s job in June, but has pitched brilliantly in a more flexible high-leverage back end role. Since his ERA skyrocketed to 5.17 after a disastrous outing against San Diego, Neris has only allowed earned runs in two of his last 24 outings.
