The Phillies entered spring training with their rotation largely unchanged compared to last year, much to the dismay of the fans. However, it appears they are finally trying to add to their starting rotation with one of the biggest names on the market.
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports that the team is engaged in “dialogue” with Arrieta about a contract.
Phillies and Jake Arrieta are having dialogue. Phils people (MacPhail, Klentak, Jordan, etc.) love him from their days in Baltimore together. Phils would prefer shorter term tho, so there’s a gap.
