The Phillies starting pitchers were, quite frankly, horrendous in 2019 after the front office gave a crew of young arms one last opportunity to prove themselves. They allowed the 11th most runs in baseball, could barely pitch through six innings, and had only 36 percent of their starts be deemed “quality.”
This offseason the Phillies will have plenty of options on the free agent market to restock their pitching staff. A hometown hero, playoff ace, and Cy Young contender will all be on the open market this offseason, the perfect storm for the Phillies front office to add a piece or two.
