As spring training nears, the Philadelphia Phillies would not only like to address their starting shortstop position for the 2021 season, but also add pitching depth to complement their slew of offseason additions that include relievers Archie Bradley, Jose Alvarado, and Sam Coonrod, among others.

According to a Friday morning report from NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury, the club is showing interest in a 10-year veteran left-hander, in particular, who pitched this past season overseas in Japan for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks — Matt Moore.
