Recent rumors about the Phillies adding a bat to their roster made their way across media outlets last week. The ever-constant Jose Bautista connection was made yet again as Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports said Bautista was on a list of potential targtes for the team. Those rumors, to an extent, gained a lot more traction on Sunday.
Team president Andy MacPhail took part in a radio interview on MLB Network Radio’s Front Office Sunday morning. In that interview, he stated that adding a left-handed bat is next on their to-do list.
