For the second season in a row, the Philadelphia Phillies were one of the last four teams remaining in October. Maybe that’s a poor spin after a disappointing final two games at home but the big-picture success was there.
As Dave Dombrowski heads into his fourth off-season as Phillies President of Baseball Operations, it might be the toughest yet.
There isn’t an objective decision to take the team to a new level, or no replacing Jean Segura with Trea Turner type of move. This off-season is more about keeping the team in contender status than trying to reach new lengths.
