After J.P. Crawford posted a strong second half in Triple-A and made his major-league debut in 2017, the Phillies felt comfortable parting ways with Freddy Galvis. The starting shortstop for the last three seasons was traded to the Padres for pitching prospect Enyel De Los Santos.
Almost a year after that trade, Philadelphia is back in the market for a shortstop. The position is a major question mark and the team is looking for a way to improve the position. Plenty of names have been tossed around, both via a trade or free agency.
