The Phillies have made their first offseason moves to address their bullpen
The first significant player moves of the Philadelphia Phillies offseason have been made — and it does not involve star free-agents J.T. Realmuto nor Didi Gregorius. Rather, the team already appears to be addressing its bullpen, which posted a 7.06 ERA — the second-highest since earned runs were tracked in 1912-13.
Thursday morning, the Phillies outrighted arbitration-eligible relief pitchers Heath Hembree and Adam Morgan off of their 40-man roster, according to The Athletic’s Meghan Montemurro.
