After last year’s offseason dragged on for what felt like an eternity, an emphasis has seemingly been placed on getting deals done sooner rather than later this go around. Marquee free agents Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg, and Zack Wheeler, with the Phillies, have all already inked new deals, and with the market price now set, the rest of the top names are expected to sign soon as well.
The Phillies entered the 2019/2020 offseason with one major goal in mind: improving the pitching staff. The addition of Wheeler obviously helps a ton, but they still overall lacking in that department.
