The Phillies have kicked off their all-important 2020-2021 offseason by addressing the bullpen.
They have outrighted LHP Adam Morgan and RHP Heath Hembree, according to Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic. The two pitchers are officially off the 40-man roster. Since both players have over three years of service time, they can choose to reject their minor-league assignments and elect free agency, which is likely to happen. Both pitchers spent time on the IL in 2020.
Morgan, 30, underwent left elbow flexor tendon repair surgery on Oct.
