Baseball fans, especially Phillies fans, have waited years for the 2019 free agent class, touted as one of the greatest of all-time, to emerge. Superstars Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, DJ LeMahieu, and Craig Kimbrel are only a few of the highlighted players expected to be available this offseason.
While a large portion of baseball’s stars could be on the move, the Phillies don’t stand to have many of their own stars on the open market.
Philadelphia has only five notable free agents this offseason: Wilson Ramos, Jose Bautista, Will Middlebrooks, Trevor Plouffe, and Pedro Beato. Certainly not an A-list group of names, unless you’re looking at five years ago.
