The Philadelphia Phillies are expected to make significant roster changes this offseason, but their inactivity raises concerns. Recently, Cody Bellinger was traded from the Chicago Cubs to the New York Yankees, a move the Phillies could have matched but chose not to.

Outfield improvements are crucial for Philadelphia, especially given the underwhelming performance of their current outfielders. Nathan Ackerman suggested potential trade packages to acquire Seiya Suzuki from the Cubs, with Ranger Suarez being a key player in the discussions.

Acquiring Suzuki could address the Phillies' offensive struggles, especially with his strong hitting stats. The addition of Suzuki might also help attract Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki, further bolstering the team's roster.

The Philadelphia Phillies are entering a critical phase as the World Series concludes, with a five-day window for negotiating with their free agents. Key players like Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez are expected to seek multi-year contracts averaging over $12 million annually, while Spencer Turnbull also joins the free agency pool.

The team faces decisions regarding nine players eligible for salary arbitration, with Austin Hays likely to be non-tendered. Other eligible players include Ranger Suarez, Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott, Brandon Marsh, Edmundo Sosa, Kolby Allard, Garrett Stubbs, and Jose Ruiz, each with varying salary expectations for the upcoming season.

Sean Manaea's transformation began with a haircut and a change in pitching style, leading to a stellar performance in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies. He dominated the game, allowing only three hits in seven innings, contributing to the New York Mets' 7-2 victory.

With key contributions from Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker, who both homered, the Mets showcased their offensive power. The crowd at Citi Field, energized by the team's playoff success, celebrated Manaea's remarkable outing as he received a standing ovation upon leaving the game.

The Philadelphia Phillies showcased their offensive prowess in the 15th inning of Game Two against the New York Mets, scoring seven runs in the final four innings. As they prepare for Game Three of the National League Division Series, they will rely on veteran pitcher Aaron Nola to deliver another strong performance on the road.

Nola, who has a solid postseason track record, faces the Mets after a successful regular season. The Mets will counter with Sean Manaea, who also brings experience to the mound. Both teams are looking for key victories to advance in the playoffs.

In a surprising decision, Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson benched All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm for Game 2 of the NLDS against the New York Mets, opting for Edmundo Sosa to inject energy into the lineup.

Thomson acknowledged Bohm's struggles, particularly after a hand injury, and emphasized the need for a boost following a disappointing Game 1. Sosa, known for his defensive skills, will hit seventh as the Phillies aim to rebound from their earlier loss.
