Should the Phillies look to upgrade the outfield — at the expense of Brandon Marsh?

“Dave and the front office have done a great job,” manager Rob Thomson said. “We just haven’t gotten it done. I haven’t gotten it done.” Not yet, anyway.

Merrifield, who signed with the Phillies as a free agent in February, was hitting .199 with a .572 OPS in 53 games this season.

And a starter, too.

The big bats they still have left showed up. Happy Birthday Trea Turner.

A year later, have the Phillies seen enough from Rojas to know that they need someone better?

Turner hasn't been a good shortstop in half a decade. Sosa is elite. Phillies pitchers deserve the best defense they can get. Robin Yount, Chipper Jones, and Mookie Betts all made the move.
