The Philadelphia Phillies have been looking to improve their outfield during the offseason. They looked to the free agent market and agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with Adolis García on Dec. 15. The 32-year-old will be their starting right fielder next year.
However, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski tried to acquire a center fielder before the García signing. There were discussions about the club acquiring an outfielder, such as the Colorado Rockies' Brenton Doyle, Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox, or the Houston Astros' Jake Meyers.
Unfortunately, Philadelphia lacks a key position in its prospect system that prevented any trade from transpiring.
