While most of the Phillies’ pitching needs are in the bullpen, there are glaring needs in the starting rotation if the Phillies want to succeed in 2021. The Phillies have already begun to make moves to improve the bullpen, so it is time to shift some attention to the rotation.
Phillies’ Recent Moves
The Phillies recently began to address their starting pitcher needs. In the days since the J.T. Realmuto signing, the Phillies signed veteran starters Ivan Nova and Matt Moore. Nova owns a career 4.38 ERA over his 11-year career, having started under Joe Girardi in New York.
