After a brilliant, likely all-time great offseason, the Phillies have their sights set on a postseason berth in 2019. However, some question marks remain when glancing at the current Philadelphia roster.
The rotation, for one, has remained untouched over the course of the offseason, and seemingly, barring the acquisition of either Dallas Keuchel, or even Gio Gonzalez, looks to be set for Opening Day.
The closer position also remains a blank space, and, while he would aid them greatly, the Phillies don’t seem too keen on Free Agent Craig Kimbrel, either.
Passing on Kimbrel would be of no consequence to the organization, that is, if he weren’t the ONLY exceptional closer of the next two Free Agent classes.
