So far this offseason, the Phillies have addressed each need they came into it via free agency.
Shortstop? Signed Trea Turner.
Rotation? Signed Taijuan Walker.
Bullpen? Signed Craig Kimbrel.
That last one, though, might need a few more bullet to get through another 162 (and hopefully more) games. Getting all the way to the World Series meant that some players needed to break out, some players needed to build on their performances and some needed to surprise. The Phillies are hoping for a lot of repeat performances from bullpen members, but they really look like they’re thinking that Connor Brogdon, as broken as he was, is finally fixed and ready to dominate.
