Phillies fans know the rebuild taking place at One Citizens Bank Way will extend further than they’d please, but they know the end results could be astronomical.
Ben Reiter, a senior writer at Sports Illustrated, looked at teams in the middle of a rebuild, and projected which club is most likely to the most dominant in the future.
Reiter examined elements such as prospects, current major league players, tradable assets, and financial flexibility.
Among the top five teams selected by Reiter, the Phils sit at the fourth-position when considering which club could be the next Chicago Cubs.
