Despite the significant addition, the third-largest free agent contract the Phillies ever awarded to a free agent, the organization reportedly still is not satisfied. According to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, the Phillies “still seek one more starter,” and have not ruled “anything out.”
Among those starting pitchers the organization reportedly still has interest in includes 2019 Washington Nationals World Series champion and 10-year veteran RHP Stephen Strasburg.
