Exactly how the Philadelphia Phillies will operate at this week’s MLB Winter Meetings, which begin in earnest on Monday, is unclear.
Phillies brass are in San Diego from Sunday through Friday, looking to build off of the five-year/$118 million deal that they inked right-hander Zack Wheeler to last week.
There are conflicting reports on how the Phillies will proceed in looking to fill out their roster, as noted by Phillies Nation‘s Jonny Heller.
Matt Gelb of The Athletic reported after the signing of Wheeler that the Phillies front office had been told to stay under the $208 million luxury tax.
