The Philadelphia Phillies bullpen had the fourth best ERA in the majors after the trade deadline last season. If they want to replicate that success in 2020, they are going to have to rely on a different set of arms than they did in 2019.

They haven’t signed a single reliever to a major-league contract. They added Robert Stock and Trevor Kelley to the 40-man roster after claiming them on waivers and signed veteran arms in Drew Storen, Bud Norris and Francisco Liriano to minor-league contracts, but have not added any guaranteed contributors to the bullpen.
