The MLB Winter Meetings might be over, but the offseason is just getting going for the Philadelphia Phillies, who had themselves a wildly successful week in Orlando. While the front office made some minor moves along the way, the big offseason-altering move was obviously re-signing free agent designated hitter Kyle Schwarber.
On top of signing Schwarber to the massive five-year, $150 million deal on Tuesday morning, the Phillies also officially extended manager Rob Thomson for an extra year, through 2027. They also snagged a possible bullpen piece in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday by selecting right-hander Zach McCambley, although they also lost Griff McGarry to the Washington Nationals.
