General manager Matt Klentak says that he didn’t read the PECOTA projections that suggest that the Philadelphia Phillies will win only 77 games this season, but he certainly disagrees with any assessment that believes the team will finish with a losing record in 2020.
In fact, he knows there’s quite a bit of pressure on the roster he’s assembled to reach the playoffs in his fifth season as general manager.
After the Phillies signed Zack Wheeler and Didi Gregorius in December, Klentak told Phillies Nation that he believed that the Phillies had enough talent to potentially win what he acknowledged was setting up to be a very competitive National League East.
