The Phillies are mulling over their options. With the front office aiming to improve the club’s big-league roster, running it back in 2025 like they did in 2024 doesn’t seem likely. There are different ways to upgrade the team. Free agency is one. Making trades is another. Both are on the table.
Leaving no stone unturned makes sense as president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski looks to thread a tight needle. He’s trying to not only help put together a roster that could hoist a trophy in 2025, but is also trying to keep the club’s competitive window open for 2026 and beyond.
