The Philadelphia Phillies have signed Max Kepler to a one-year, $10 million contract, hoping to harness his potential despite a history of inconsistency.
Kepler's performance has varied significantly, with two seasons over an .800 OPS and two below .700. While he has shown power and defensive skills, recent trends indicate a decline, including a drop in walk rate and power numbers.
As he approaches 32, the Phillies are taking a gamble on his ability to rebound in 2025.
