I had the same criticisms you did.
Dave Dombrowski didn’t do enough this off-season. The Phillies are running back a team whose offense hit the skids when it mattered most once again, lost more effective bullpen arms than they acquired, and didn’t change the makeup of the roster in any significant way.
Big name stars like Juan Soto, Kyle Tucker, and others all changed uniforms and the Phils weren’t even in the conversation.
So yeah, I hear ya. I was disappointed and, dare I say, dissatisfied with Dombrowski’s off-season acquisitions. On the whole, I didn’t think they made the team any better than they were the season before or in 2023.
