Phillies: 2 targets after Trea Turner signing
The Philadelphia Phillies recently signed Trea Turner on an 11-year, $300M dollar contract. Bryce Harper is out for the first half of the 2023 season. The Phillies won 87 games last season and made it to the World Series.
Phillies need to sign a starting pitcher. They have Zach Wheeler and Aaron Nola in the front of the rotation. Ranger Suarez and Bailey Falter are quality options. Jameson Taillon is a steady option with a good track record. He is free agent and he is not a game-changing pitcher, but he's reliable.
The Phillies are looking for a new closer. Liam Hendriks is available in the trade market. He has one guaranteed year left on his contract. The Phillies would need to choose his club option for 2024. He posted a 2.81 ERA and 37 saves last season.
The Phillies are a playoff contender. The National League is very deep. They need to make some moves ahead of the 2023 season.
