The Philadelphia Phillies are focused on improving their roster after a disappointing early playoff exit, despite a strong regular season. Their elimination by the New York Mets has prompted the team to consider significant changes, particularly in the outfield, bullpen, and starting rotation.

One key target is Garrett Crochet of the Chicago White Sox, who could replace Taijuan Walker, whose poor performance in 2024 has raised concerns. Crochet's affordability and potential as a future ace make him an appealing option for the Phillies as they aim to compete with formidable teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers.
