The offseason begins next week. The Phillies will have decisions to make on options for José Alvarado and Harrison Bader. Kyle Schwarber and Ranger Suárez will receive a qualifying offer. Both are expected to reject it. Players can officially begin signing with other teams five days after the conclusion of the World Series.
We know that retaining Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Ranger Suárez and Harrison Bader are the priority for the Phillies, though it’s unlikely all four are re-signed. Other Phillies could be on the move.
