Phillies 2024 postseason roster projection 1.0

NEW YORK — It’s safe to finally talk about the playoffs.

Rob Thomson, before Saturday, was hesitant to answer questions about postseason roster construction until now.

Now we have a better understanding of what the Phillies are thinking. At least for a potential National League Division Series, expect the Phillies to carry an additional bench player over another reliever.

“I think we have more options offensively than we’ve had in the last two years,” Thomson said Saturday in New York.

The four bench players who began the season in Lehigh Valley, Weston Wilson, Kody Clemens, Buddy Kennedy and Cal Stevenson, have all had their moments this season.
