The Phillies filled several holes in their lineup last offseason, bringing four new everyday starters. One need they didn’t address was third base, instead hoping Maikel Franco would be sufficient thanks to the other improvements made. As you know if you have watched the Phillies at all this year, that has not been the case.
Thankfully, there should be some options to upgrade the position this offseason. Anthony Rendon may be the best player available in free agency, while Nolan Arenado could hit the trading block this offseason. Josh Donaldson is another option that will be out there: should Philadelphia consider signing him?
