Phillies Rumor: Club Still Searching for Left-Handed Bat

Phillies general manager Matt Klentak had an unsurprisingly quiet time during the winter meetings last week. While other executives where wheeling and dealing, Klentak stayed true to the plan designed to rebuild the Phillies back into championship contenders.

While Klentak has made moves such as acquire Howie Kendrick, extend Odubel Herrera’s contract, re-sign Andres Blanco, and sign Daniel Nava, more moves could be on the way.

In an interview with 97.3 ESPN, Phillies Assistant GM Scott Proefrock stated the team is looking to add a left-handed hitter who can play both first base and the corner outfield positions on a platoon basis.
