The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off of two massive offseason windows where they signed Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos to deals.
Last winter also saw a high-profile trade for relief pitcher Gregory Soto and a few other additions to the pitching staff such as Taijuan Walker and Craig Kimbrel.
This offseason, the Phillies made the first big splash in free agency by re-signing Aaron Nola to a seven-year, $172 million contract, effectively locking him up and making him a Phillie for life.
With the core they have and a potential Bryce Harper extension on the horizon, it would be reasonable to think the Phillies are done playing in the high-end portion of free agency this winter.
But president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and owner John Middleton have proven over the last few winters that they are all in for another World Series.
As such, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com thinks that Philadelphia could be looking for something “big” at next week’s MLB Winter Meetings.
