The Phillies 2019 season could not have gotten off to a better start thanks to the additions made this offseason via free agency and trades. Philadelphia started the season 4-0 for the first time since 1915 and their lineup continues to cruise along, but that won’t stop Phillies rumors regarding roster moves.
A major issue continues to be the Phillies bench comprised mostly of young players who started or backed up last year. The myriad of veterans Philadelphia acquired to bolster the bench last season (Asdrubal Cabrera, Jose Bautista, Wilson Ramos, Justin Bour) have all departed in free agency.
