During the 2025 season, one of the Philadelphia Phillies weaknesses was their bullpen. While the outfield is getting a lot of the early offseason focus so far, the front office will need to spend some time and money this winter reinforcing the bullpen for 2026.
Despite the Phillies racking up 96 wins in the regular season, the bullpen ranked toward the bottom third of the league in numerous categories. It finished 20th with a 4.27 ERA and 2.9 fWAR. Phillies relievers combined for the third-fewest strikeouts with 505 and had the fifth-most blown saves with 27.
