official: phillies target Cleveland Guardians classic hero in a mouth watering deal after making proper scout..
Before the new season starts, the Philadelphia Phillies still have time to acquire some more players that will aid them in their quest for a World Series championship. Dave Dombrowski has demonstrated that for them, the offseason doesn’t end until it does. During their free agency in March, three of the team’s top players were added. If they wish to take action, they still have time.
Bullpen is likely the place that Dombrowski and his front office would be looking to upgrade if they decide to pursue the available options. Despite how his tenure ended in the playoffs, Craig Kimbrel was an important piece for the team in 2023 and losing him means there is a role on the back end that needs to be filled.
That’s probably why Philadelphia continues to be seen as a team who could put together a trade package that lands superstar closer Emmanuel Clase from the Cleveland Guardians. “Philly should be in the Clase sweepstakes for obvious reasons. Things did not go great at the back end of games with the since-departed Craig Kimbrel, and there is no clear replacement in sight,” writes Brandon Scott of Bleacher Report. That comes on the heels of another writer for Bleacher Report saying the Phillies should be considered a top suitor for the star pitcher.
