Last night the Phillies did the obvious moves with two players, declining their options on Andrew McCutchen and Odubel Herrera.
The Phillies have declined club options for the 2022 season on outfielders Odúbel Herrera and Andrew McCutchen.

McCutchen’s option was for $15 million and Herrera’s was for $11.5 million, so it’s a nice hunk of change for the Phillies to use more effectively in 2022. As a result of the decline, McCutchen will receive a $3 million buyout, while Herrera will get $2.
