Amid Philadelphia Phillies news on Wednesday that they have signed right-hander Zack Wheeler and remain engaged in talks with free-agent infielder Didi Gregorius, one of the organization’s former right-handed pitching prospects earned league-wide recognition.
The Cleveland Indians’ Carlos Carrasco, a former Phillies international prospect who played in their minor-league system from 2004 to 2009, has been named American League Comeback Player of the Year. Rumored Phillies free-agent target Josh Donaldson was the National League recipient of the award.
Earlier this offseason, Carrasco also earned the 2019 Roberto Clemente Award for his high character and community involvement.
