With free agency starting and decisions needing to be made, the Phillies are beginning to set their roster in anticipation of being able to have some turnover. The other day, we saw them decline options of Andrew McCutchen and Odubel Herrera. Yesterday, we saw some more.
The first move saw them claim Ryan Sherriff off of waivers from the Rays. Sherriff didn’t pitch much in the majors the past two seasons, throwing a combined 24 1⁄3 innings for Tampa Bay. Only 14 2⁄3 of those innings came last year, where he struck out 22.
