Dave Dombrowski ‘not counting on’ former first rounders Mickey Moniak, Adam Haseley to begin 2022, per report

While the Phillies have glaring holes in left and center field, their head of baseball operations doesn’t envision former first-round draft picks Mickey Moniak and Adam Haseley filling them to begin the 2022 season.

“I’m not, per se, counting on either one of them to be on our club next year to start off,” president Dave Dombrowski said Tuesday at the annual GM meetings being held in California, according to Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday.

After declining the options of starting left fielder and starting center fielder Odúbel Herrera, as well as outrighting the arbitration-eligible Herrera, Philadelphia has playing time to be taken in the outfield.
