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.
