The Phillies‘ rotation was pretty good last year, but they notably lacked a left-handed starter outside of a few spot starts from Ranger Suarez. They are looking to add one this offseason but so far have been unwilling to give too many years in free agency. This has led to them pursuing different left-handed starters on the trade market.
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that Philadelphia is “very interested” in Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray. The Astros are also interested in acquiring the lefty according to Cafardo.
