The Philadelphia Phillies faced a disappointing end to their season, falling short in the National League Division Series despite high expectations. While the 2024 campaign was largely successful, the postseason revealed critical weaknesses, particularly in the outfield and bullpen.

Nick Castellanos stood out in the lineup, but overall offensive production was lacking. The bullpen, once reliable, faltered against the New York Mets, with key players like Jeff Hoffman underperforming. As free agency approaches, the Phillies may seek to revamp their bullpen, potentially targeting San Diego Padres' reliever Jason Adam, who had an impressive season.
