The offseason has arrived.
As we count down the days until opening day (about 145), we’ll start to see movement in the form of free-agent signings, contract extensions, arbitration-year agreements and trade acquisitions. As Andy Williams once put it, it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
The rumors and prognostications are already flying, so we’re throwing our hat into the ring. This is our annual Offseason Overview, a series of pieces detailing what the Phillies have to do to accomplish their goals this winter. We’ll start here with a depth chart rundown, then we’ll go into individual issues later next week.
