Heading into this offseason, the Phillies needed to address two things – their starting rotation and the logjam taking place in the infield. Next year, the team could feasibly have five players vying for three positions between second base, third base, and shortstop.
The easiest way general manager Matt Klentak could approach this issue is by trading someone out of the group, most likely Cesar Hernandez and/or Freddy Galvis. He told reporters Wednesday that other teams have checked in about a potential trade for these players.
Trading Hernandez or Galvis would certainly address the logjam in the infield and perhaps even kill two birds with one stone by acquiring a starting pitcher in the process.
