Even after trading Carlos Santana and J.P. Crawford for shortstop Jean Segura, the Philadelphia Phillies aren’t content with lying pat.
Per Andy Martino of SNY, the Nationals, Phillies, and Yankees are all vying for free agent starter Patrick Corbin, with rivals viewing the Phillies as being in a “strong position” to ultimately sign the two-time All-Star.
USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale also reported that the Phillies have told Corbin they will not be “out-bid” by any other team interested in his services, a bold declaration that signals the Phillies are living up to the aggressive label they’ve been carrying the past month.
