Another member of the fallen Phillies of the decade long rebuild, Didi Gregorius was left in the dust after he failed to perform in 2022. After getting off to a slow start, Gregorius never really recovered as the season progressed. Joe Girardi continued to trot out his friend from their Yankee days, instead of giving Bryson Stott time to grow. With a Jean Segura injury stalling long term plans, Gregorius hung around for longer than he should have.
Just days after the trade deadline, the Phillies organization had officially seen enough of Sir Didi, releasing him on August fourth, as Jean Segura returned form the injured list.
