Phillies remain in contact with José Álvarez, Blake Parker

The Philadelphia Phillies remain in contact with free agents Blake Parker and José Álvarez, both of whom have spent parts of the last two seasons with the team.

“Our organization does [remain in contact with the two], yes,” Dombrowski said Wednesday. “[It’s] not necessarily me personally, but yes, we do stay in contact with them.”

For as underwhelming as the Phillies bullpen has been over the past two seasons – specifically in 2020 – Parker and Álvarez have offered some reprieve.

Parker was underwhelming in 23 games for the Phillies after being acquired from the Minnesota Twins in July of 2019.
