It’s hard to know what the Phillies exactly had in mind for this offseason. Publicly, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said the club would be open-minded. Essentially, the front office was going to explore any and all avenues, unlike in previous winters.
So far, the Phillies have signed three free agents — Jordan Romano, Max Kepler and Joe Ross — to major-league deals. All for one year.
It’s no secret that 2025 could be the final year for this current core of Phillies to win the World Series. Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto are pending free agents.
