The offseason has been quiet so far for the Philadelphia Phillies. No major-league free-agent signings. No trades to boost the roster. No real action to this point.

Starting Sunday, with official team business taking place from Monday through Wednesday, executives, agents and other figures across Major League Baseball will gather for the annual offseason event.
