Phillies Nation Mailbag: What under-the-radar free-agent options should be considered?

For years, Phillies fans have looked at this offseason as one in which the Phillies could potentially sign Manny Machado or Bryce Harper. But what are some smaller options the club could consider to supplement the team? – Jesse in Media

This is a good question, one that will probably get lost in the Machado/Harper/Patrick Corbin free-agent buzz. This will mark the fifth Phillies offseason I’ve written about. A few years ago, I imagined it being the easiest one to write about, because the storylines write themselves in many senses. But as I wrote last month, the Phillies expected pursuit of Machado and/or Harper will be just the start of what may be the most crucial offseason in Phillies history.
