The Philadelphia Phillies have a depth issue, and that was on full display on Sunday when the team had no healthy bench players at the onset of the eventual 10-8 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in Dunedin, Florida.
President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski reportedly is wasting no time to add big-league-ready bench depth. According to ESPN’s Enrique Rojas, the Phillies are nearing a deal with four-year veteran outfielder Jorge Bonifacio. It is not clear whether the deal would be a minor- or major-league pact.
