The Phillies seem to be all about adding on former members of the New York Yankees.
First they hired Joe Girardi as manager, then Brian Barber as director of amateur scouting. And, recently, there has been the rumored interest in free-agent shortstop Didi Gregorius.
Now, two more Yankees free agents are being linked to possibly reunite with their former manager in red pinstripes come the 2020 season: right-handed reliever Dellin Betances, and catcher Austin Romine.
According to the New York Post, the now-Girard-led Phillies have an interest in Betances and Romine “as the free-agent market is expected to gain more traction heading into the Winter Meetings that open next Sunday in San Diego.
