Phillies sim trade: Adding bullpen depth with Bryan Shaw
Philadelphia needs to address their bullpen depth with veteran relievers
As part of the FanSided MLB offseason simulation, the Phillies were searching for veteran relievers who could provide depth and eat innings for a bullpen that lost several key players to injury last offseason.
The Colorado Rockies have several veteran relievers on multi-year contracts who have struggled in the Rocky Mountain air, suggesting a change in scenery would be best for them.
Bryan Shaw, who recently turned 32, was a workhorse in the Cleveland Indians bullpen for years, leading the league in appearances three times and pitching with an ERA under three twice.
