The 2019 offseason for the Phillies has been focused on Manny Machado and Bryce Harper, and to a much lesser extent the additions of David Robertson, Jean Segura, Andrew McCutchen, and potentially another starting pitcher.
If nothing changes and the Phillies “strike out” on the two major free-agents, the opening day starters are likely set.
Here are the projected starting eight fielders for Philadelphia.
C: Jorge Alfaro
1B: Rhys Hoskins
2B: Cesar Hernandez
SS: Jean Segura
3B: Maikel Franco
LF: Andrew McCutchen
CF: Odubel Hererra
RF: Nick Williams
More than likely Aaron Nola gets the opening day start coming off his Cy Young campaign.
