Whether you love him or hate him, one of the most notable front office names of this decade is Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. Some current big league names that will be synonymous with his era of Phillies history include, most notably, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Zack Wheeler. But even the J.T. Realmuto and Aaron Nola extensions were moves he made to ensure this core sticks together as it fights for the championship they've been hunting since 2022.
However, after MLB Pipeline's midseason farm system rankings update, one aspect of Dombrowski's "ready now" World Series-hungry team has become a glaring issue, especially when comparing the Phillies to its main competitors: the longevity of the team's roster depth.
