It turns out the Philadelphia Phillies are interested in free-agent righty Zack Wheeler.
Very interested.
Wednesday, ESPN’s Buster Olney reported that the Phillies are viewed as the “most potent” bidders for the 29-year-old right-hander.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic adds that while the Los Angeles Angels have shown interest in Wheeler, the Phillies, Cincinnati Reds and Chicago White Sox are the three teams definitively “still alive” for him.
Wheeler’s free agency doesn’t seem on track to drag into 2020. In fact, Jon Heyman of RADIO.
