Massive spending was the hallmark of the Phillies’ offseason a year ago. En-route to acquiring David Robertson, Andrew McCutchen, Jean Segura, J.T Realmuto, and Bryce Harper, the team shelled out a whopping $403M.
Typical of the affluent Phillies, the team continued to spend the big bucks this winter, conferring $132M to land Didi Gregorius and Zack Wheeler- marking the third consecutive year the team has allocated $100M+ in offseason spending.
After repeatedly emptying the vault, however, the Phillies still find themselves on the outside looking in at the NL playoff picture.
