There is plenty of anxiety about what the Philadelphia Phillies will be able to do in free agency this offseason. They'll still have a payroll somewhere around $300 million, but how they spend that money remains to be seen.
On top of their guaranteed contracts and possible free agent signings, the Phillies do have other money tied up in contract deferrals that could have easily been forgotten about. Two former Phillies are in line to collect deferred money over the coming years.
Deferrals have been a hot topic in recent offseasons, thanks primarily to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
