This is the time of year where the rumor mill is trying to piece together how certain players would look on specific teams. Some are crazy (the Rays and Juan Soto, anyone?) and some are completely plausible. With the Phillies, the rumor that seems to be gaining some legs is that Alex Bregman is a top free agent target of the team.
The most interesting prediction heard from a rival evaluator: The Phillies land Alex Bregman. His swing translates in that park, strong defense, lots of postseason scar tissue.

Buster Olney can sometimes put out some things that don’t make too much sense, but seeing Bregman being placed with the Phillies does make a certain of sense.
