The Philadelphia Phillies enjoyed a strong 2024 regular season but faltered in the postseason, making their successful campaign somewhat irrelevant. Heading into the offseason, they were reportedly considering shaking things up, including trading All-Star Alec Bohm.
However, the Phillies’ moves have been relatively tame so far, with a trade for pitcher Jesús Luzardo being the most notable.
There were rumors linking the Phillies to free agent Alex Bregman, but MLB insider Robert Murray believes it’s unlikely unless they clear space by trading big salaries like Nick Castellanos. Murray suggests that unless a major deal happens, Bregman is more likely to join teams with more financial flexibility, such as the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, or Toronto Blue Jays.
