Philadelphia Phillies are the Betting Favorites to Land Xander Bogaerts

Philadelphia Phillies are the betting favorites to sign Xander Bogaerts. Bogert is a big hitter with a good batting line. He is also a decent defender, but he's not a great one. He's a better player than Carlos Correa or Trea Turner. The Phillies came two wins away from a World Series championship last season. They are looking for a shortstop to bolster their team for the 2023 season, when they will be playing again.
