CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Phillies leadership has been consistently upbeat about the team's chances to surprise in 2018.
Manager Gabe Kapler said Tuesday he thinks the Phillies can "shock people." General manager Matt Klentak said Thursday that the Phillies taking an unexpected jump into postseason contention is "no longer a pipe dream." Team president Andy MacPhail's statements weren't as rose-colored on Friday morning at Spectrum Field, but he said he is "excited" about his team and "satisfied" with where the organization is headed.
But don't the Phillies need a starting pitcher?
