Thursday, Dec. 5: Phillies “have checked in” on Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle

The Phillies hope to acquire at least one high leverage relief pitcher this offseason. According to a report from Matt Gelb of The Athletic, they “have checked in” on two former New York Yankees relievers: Clay Holmes and Tommy Kahnle.

Holmes, like Jeff Hoffman, is also reportedly receiving interest as a starting pitcher. This trend in the market could complicate the Phillies’ pursuit of higher end relievers.
