The Philadelphia Phillies are monitoring the shortstop market, but it doesn’t appear that they’ll be at the front of the line in what may be the greatest class of free agents in the history of the position.
Jon Heyman of Audacy Sports reports that the Phillies are one of 13 teams “said to be at least gauging the shortstop market.” Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic adds that the Phillies “might pursue a shortstop if one of the top free agents at the position gets squeezed in a crowded market,” but cautions that said scenario isn’t especially likely.
