The Phillies should consider signing these five non-tendered players.
Dozens of arbitration-eligible players across Major League Baseball were non-tendered, or released, ahead of Wednesday evening’s deadline.
The Phillies opted to tender all seven of their arbitration-eligible players, and only two of them — Rhys Hoskins and Vince Velasquez — remain unsigned to guaranteed 2021 deals and could head to an arbitration hearing if an agreement is not reached by mid-January.
Of course, the Phillies’ offseason to-do list is far from resolved, as the team still has several holes to fill in order to round out the roster in time for spring training in a couple of months.
