Seven players that appeared in games for the 2021 Philadelphia Phillies have been declared free agents.
The 2021 season concluded Tuesday evening when the Atlanta Braves defeated the Houston Astros to capture the World Series title. The MLB Player’s Association subsequently announced Wednesday that 160 players have become free agents; including Freddy Galvis, Archie Bradley, Brad Miller, Matt Moore, Cam Bedrosian, Héctor Neris and Ian Kennedy.
This is simply a procedural announcement, not an indication that any of these players can’t or won’t return to the Phillies. From here, it would be pretty surprising if Neris, the longest-tenured Phillie, doesn’t ultimately return.
