Phillies, other rebuilding teams under fire from player’s union

The fact that virtually no big free agents have signed this offseason is well-documented. Teams are avoiding the monster contracts that are usually given out every year, while the players still have their hopes high. Add the fact that several rebuilding teams like the Phillies have little to no interest in free agency, and things are starting to reach a boiling point.

With spring training set to start in less than a week, there are over 100 free agents left on the market with nowhere to go. The MLB Player’s Association is setting up training camps for these free agents to make sure these players are still in shape for the regular season.
