After signing Aaron Nola to a seven-year, $172 million contract right out of the off-season gate, Phillies team president Dave Dombrowski has been pretty quiet.
Sure, it appears he made an aggressive pitch to land 25-year-old Japanese phenom Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and they’ve been rumored to be interested in a few right-handed relief options, but other than a trade for Kyle Allard, nothing else has materialized. And as we watch one right-handed bullpen option after another come off the market, it looks as if Dombrowski is happy heading into Clearwater with what most experts believe is the 3rd-best team in the National League.
