In 2022, the Philadelphia Phillies finished two wins short of a World Series title.
In 2023, they came within one win of returning to the Fall Classic.
The 2024 Phillies, a team that will likely carry a payroll north of $250 million into the season, is already World Series caliber. They have star players in the lineup, younger role players who improved year-to-year, and a starting rotation that remains one of the best and deepest in the league. They feature a bullpen that has its ups and downs (like every other MLB bullpen) but is considered one of the stronger units in baseball.
