No one will forget the way the 2024 season ended for the Phillies, with Orion Kerkering fumbling a comebacker and throwing Philadelphia’s last hope to the backstop at Dodger Stadium.

Will Kerkering, a promising young reliever who has hit some bumps in the road, be able to move on next year in Philadelphia, or should the Phillies consider giving him a change of scenery?
