For the past few years, the outfield has been the weak spot for the Philadelphia Phillies. That finally changed at the end of 2025, but that was largely due to outgoing free agent Harrison Bader, acquired from Minnesota at the MLB trade deadline. With Nick Castellanos and Max Kepler likely gone, how does Dave Dombrowksi improve the outfield this winter? Might we see call-ups, in the form of top prospect Justin Crawford? Will John Middleton open up the checkbook for Kyle Tucker in free agency? If not will Dave Dombrowski do better in the free agency bargain bin than Kepler? And could this be the year for a trade, particularly with Brandon Marsh? The Phillies could revisit the Steven Kwan trade market. Jamie Lynch and Rich Hofmann discuss the Phillies hot stove, potential MLB realignment and more on the PHLY Phillies Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
